T3 Status
0 of 16 T3 sub-metrics confirmed (❌ PENDING). No video assessment has been completed for Nicolas Perez. All scores on this card are Tier 1 + Tier 2 proxy estimates derived from statistical output in the BGL Ligue, European qualifiers, and career history. Tier 3 video assessment is required before this card can be used for any recruitment or comparison decision. See FGA Analytics tab for full proxy score breakdown.
Empire FGA Verdict (Proxy Only)
FGA 6.8 (PROXY — T3 PENDING) — STATISTICAL OUTPUT ONLY, NO VIDEO VALIDATION. Perez's 15-goal season in the BGL Ligue (second-top scorer)[reference:11]and 56 goals in 143 appearances for UNA Strassen[reference:12]are objectively impressive. He is a proven goalscorer at BGL Ligue level with European experience. But without video assessment, the system cannot distinguish between genuine striker intelligence and league-level statistical inflation. Tier 3 validation is the only way to know whether this output translates.

LOG Context
BGL Ligue: Tier 2.4 (confirmed)
Europa League Group: Tier 3.2+
UCL Qualifying: Tier 3.0+
Perez's statistical output is set against a modest domestic league context (BGL Ligue Tier 2.4). His 15-goal haul is impressive in isolation, but LOG adjustment is critical before comparing this output to strikers in stronger leagues. His Europa League group stage experience provides some step-up data.

No video assessment has been completed for Nicolas Perez. Match links are available (UNA Strassen vs Atert Bissen, 2025-26; Partizan vs UNA Strassen, 2026-27 Conference League) but have not yet been scored. Minimum 5 matches required for any Tier 3 score to be non-provisional.
Next Steps
1. Review UNA Strassen vs Atert Bissen (2025-26 BGL Ligue) — link available in Koray Özcan's card.
2. Review Partizan vs UNA Strassen (2026-27 Conference League Q2) — link provided.
3. Source 3 additional matches to reach minimum 5-match threshold.
4. Score all 16 Tier 3 sub-metrics against the OBI/SII rubrics.
Cross-League Performance Projection
LOG (Level of Game) contextualizes performance across leagues of differing quality using Empire FGA's Competition_Tier_Base reference. Perez's current FGA of 6.8 is a Tier 1 + Tier 2 proxy estimate only. The projection assumes this statistical output translates proportionally to other leagues — this is a directional estimate only.
Methodology
Formula: LOG-Adjusted Score = Base FGA × (Current League Tier ÷ Target League Tier).
Belgian Pro League: 6.8 × (2.4 ÷ 2.6) = 6.3
2. Bundesliga: 6.8 × (2.4 ÷ 2.7) = 6.0
Eredivisie: 6.8 × (2.4 ÷ 2.8) = 5.8
Critical limitation: This projection uses only Tier 1 statistical output. Without Tier 3 video validation, the system cannot assess whether Perez's movement, decision-making, and finishing would translate to a stronger league. Do not use this projection for recruitment decisions.

- 35 years old — limited upside; peak value was €230K in 2017, now €50K
- 0 goals in recent European qualifiers — limited output at higher level[reference:37]
- No top-5 league experience — untested at elite level
- Limited assists data — primarily a finisher rather than creator
✗ Critical Gaps
- 16/16 T3 metrics unconfirmed — no video assessment has been completed
- No movement intelligence data — OBI, SII, DMA, SPI all pending
- No mental/character read — CHR, MCS, CRS have zero events
- Limited match links available — needs 5 matches for non-provisional scoring
- Age-related decline risk — at 35, physical metrics likely to decline
