▲MATCH BALANCE CHECK FAILED — SCORING PROCEEDED ANYWAY. All 5 registered matches are Home fixtures; every match with a recorded result shows Riga FC "Winning." The workbook's own protocol requires ≥1 away match and ≥1 match where the team was losing before scoring begins — neither condition is met. CHR, MCS, CLM, and CRS (Character, Mental Competence, Calmness, Clutch Response) are rubric'd entirely around adversity and currently rest on 1–2 events each from a zero-adversity sample. Fix: log the July 7, 2026 away first leg at Ararat-Armenia (lost 0-2) — Wassom started that match. It is the single addition that satisfies both failed conditions at once.
○6 OF 12 SCOREABLE METRICS CONFIRMED — 1 SHORT OF THE 7/12 THRESHOLD. OBI_T, OBI_P, SII_A, DMA, SOA, and SPI meet the ≥3 events / ≥3 match confidence bar. OBI_S, SII_T, SII_R, MCS, CLM, CRS, OMS, DYN, and CRK remain VIDEO_PENDING; CHR is MATCH_SPREAD_PENDING (3 events, only 2 matches). No composite FGA score exists yet — the 8.0 shown is a plain average of the 6 confirmed metrics only, not an official Empire FGA number.

Karl Gameni Wassom is a 21-year-old Cameroonian defensive midfielder born July 21, 2004 in Yaoundé. 189cm, right-footed.

Currently on loan at Riga FC — the reigning Latvian champions — through December 2026. Market value €200K.
T3 Status
6/12 metrics confirmed, video assessment in progress. Analyst: Jim Totime. Assessment type: Tier A (full 13-metric pass). 5 matches registered, ~89 events logged so far across OBI, SII, and the remaining video metrics. Match balance check failed on 2 of 3 conditions — see banner above. Do not use CHR, MCS, CLM, or CRS scores for any decision until adversity footage is added.
Empire FGA Verdict (In Progress)
VIDEO READ 8.0 (6/12, NOT FINAL) — STRONG POSITIONAL/PHYSICAL EVIDENCE · MENTAL PROFILE UNTESTED. The confirmed metrics — anticipation, positioning, acceleration, decision-making, speed of action, spatial play — are genuinely strong for a 21-year-old in this league. But this card cannot say anything credible yet about his composure, character, or clutch response, and his 4-red-card disciplinary history makes that gap matter more than usual. Do not send this card to a club until the away/adversity metrics are filled in.
6/12 confirmed sits 1 metric short of the 7/12 threshold. OBI and SII composites are both blocked — each has at least one unconfirmed sub-metric (OBI_S; SII_T and SII_R).
Confidence Breakdown
LOG Context
Highest LOG in sample: ~4.0 Virsliiga: Tier 2.0–2.5 (small European league) UCL Qualifying vs Ararat-Armenia: Tier ~4.0
The two UCL qualifying legs against a title-holding Armenian side sit well above his normal domestic level — genuinely the most useful footage in this set, and currently only the home leg (a Riga win) is logged. The away leg is the priority addition.
Video Completeness · 6/12 Confirmed · 1 Short of Threshold
▲NOT APPLICABLE YET. There is no confirmed FGA composite for this player — 6/12 metrics, no OBI or SII composite, and the mental profile is entirely unassessed. Cross-league projection from a partial, adversity-free video read would compound one credibility problem on top of another. This tab will populate once the match balance is fixed and a real composite exists.
For reference: Latvia's Virsliiga sits toward the lower end of the Empire FGA LOG glossary (Tier ~2.0–2.5), while his two logged UCL qualifying legs against Ararat-Armenia — Armenia's champions — sit closer to Tier 4.0. That gap is exactly why the away leg matters: it's not just the missing "losing" data point, it's also his highest-level football on file, and the more informative half of a genuinely two-sided European tie.

Tactical Archetype (Provisional)
"The Physical Anticipator" — the confirmed evidence points to a DM who reads the game early (OBI_P 7.29 across 18 events, including multiple blocked shots and interceptions "before the opponent") and wins physical duels with strength rather than pure pace (repeated shoulder-charge and aerial-duel events, SPI 8.5). What's missing is exactly the profile's biggest question mark: whether that physicality holds up as discipline rather than tips into cards — the T1 record shows 4 career red cards, and the video hasn't yet tested him in a losing or hostile away context where that risk would show up.

Disciplinary Note
4 Red Cards in ~50 Career Appearances
A notably high rate for a short career, split across Tukums 2000, Riga FC II, and reserve football. None of the video logged so far shows a card incident. Worth watching for specifically once away/adversity footage is added — it's the direct on-pitch test of what this T1 record already flags.
✓ Positive Filters (from confirmed metrics)
OBI_P 7.29 across 18 events — reads the game early and consistently; repeated "before the opponent" blocks and interceptions in the log
SPI 8.5 and SOA 8.5 — genuinely strong spatial occupation and speed-of-action scores, both comfortably confirmed
SII_A 8.67 — explosive off the mark, confirmed across 3 separate matches
DMA 7.42 across 12 events — decent decision-making sample size for a young DM, including several vertical/through-ball events rated 8-9
Single highest logged event: OBI_T 10.0 (Match 4 vs RFS) — "excellent anticipation on a through pass, comes before the opponent and recovers the ball with strength"
Started both legs of a UEFA Champions League qualifying tie against Armenia's champions — real continental experience at 21
Physical duel evidence is consistent — multiple shoulder-charge and aerial-duel events across different matches, not a one-off
⚠ Caution Signals
Match balance check failed — all 5 matches Home, none recorded as losing; see Overview banner
4 red cards in ~50 career appearances (T1) — a real discipline flag that the video sample hasn't been able to test yet
The log itself shows a rough patch — Match 2 includes a 45+' defensive lapse leading to a goal against (OBI_T 4) and a sequence rated OBI_P 1 / MCS 2 / DYN 3 ("completely lost in his positioning... action too fast for him")
OBI composite and SII composite both blocked — the two headline off-ball/physical composites can't be reported yet, only their strongest sub-components
No GPS data available — physical scores rest entirely on visual assessment
✗ Critical Gaps
Zero adversity data — CHR, MCS, CLM, CRS all rest on 1-3 events from matches Riga was winning at home; none of these are usable for a decision yet
OBI_S, SII_T, SII_R all under 3 events — space architecture, top speed, and recovery sprints remain effectively unassessed
OMS has 1 event with no quality score recorded — worth checking the underlying EVENT_LOG row for a data-entry gap
One event is logged against "Match 6," which doesn't exist in the register — a mislabeled row or a missing match; trace it before it compounds
6/12 confirmed, 1 short of the 7/12 threshold — no valid composite FGA can be issued yet
◆ Empire FGA Verdict (In Progress — Not Final)
VIDEO READ 8.0 (6/12 CONFIRMED) — STRONG POSITIONAL AND PHYSICAL SIGNAL · MENTAL PROFILE UNTESTED · NOT A FINAL SCORE. Wassom is a 21-year-old Cameroonian defensive midfielder whose confirmed metrics — anticipation, spatial play, speed of action, acceleration, decision-making — are strong for his level, headlined by a perfect 10.0 anticipation event. But the assessment has a real integrity problem: it was scored on a set of matches that never satisfied the workbook's own balance check, so the four metrics that matter most for judging a physical, card-prone defensive midfielder — Character, Mental Competence, Calmness, Clutch Response — are essentially unassessed. Do not present this card, or any number from it, to a club until the July 7 away leg at Ararat-Armenia is logged. That single match fixes both failed balance conditions and is very likely the most informative footage in the whole set.
▲4 OF 5 REGISTERED MATCHES HAVE VIDEO ATTACHED THIS SESSION — THE MOST IMPORTANT ONE DOESN'T EXIST YET. Match 4 (vs RFS) was already scored in an earlier session and isn't re-attached here. The critical missing file is the July 7, 2026 away leg at Ararat-Armenia — not part of the current match register at all, and the single addition that resolves the match-balance failure.
UCL Qualifying, 1st Leg, July 7, 2026. Riga FC lost 0-2. Wassom started. This is the match that fixes the failed balance check — get this footage before scoring anything else.
