Cross-League Performance Projection
LOG (Level of Game) contextualizes performance across leagues of differing quality using Empire FGA's Competition_Tier_Base reference. Van de Perre's current FGA of 6.5 is a T1-based proxy โ all Tier 3 metrics remain unvalidated. The projection assumes his current output (30 appearances, 7.14 rating, 3 assists) translates proportionally to higher leagues.
Methodology
Formula: LOG-Adjusted Score = Base FGA ร (Current League Tier รท Target League Tier).
Premier League: 6.5 ร (2.6 รท 3.7) = 6.0
Bundesliga: 6.5 ร (2.6 รท 3.6) = 6.1
Read before sending to a club: this projection is based on Tier 1 data only. Van de Perre's defensive metrics (84 tackles, 44 interceptions) and passing accuracy (81.3%) suggest he could function as a reliable defensive midfielder at a higher level.

โ Empire FGA Verdict (Provisional)
FGA 6.5 (PROXY) โ RELIABLE PRO LEAGUE STARTER ยท UCL EXPERIENCE ยท T3 PENDING. Kamiel Van de Perre is a 22-year-old Belgian defensive midfielder who has established himself as a reliable starter for Union SG. With 30 appearances, 2,201 minutes and a FotMob average of 7.14 in the 2025-26 Pro League, he has proven his durability and consistency. His defensive metrics (84 tackles, 44 interceptions, 157 recoveries) and passing accuracy (81.3%) suggest a well-rounded profile. All Tier 3 metrics remain unvalidated โ the card is provisional pending video assessment. If the T3 validates the defensive positioning and decision-making, Van de Perre could be a valuable target for clubs needing a reliable, ball-winning midfielder. However, the 0 goals and limited creative output indicate his role is purely defensive. Recommended for clubs needing a reliable squad option in midfield with good defensive fundamentals. Not recommended for clubs requiring a creative or goalscoring midfielder.
