T3 Status
0 of 16 T3 sub-metrics confirmed (❌ PENDING). No video assessment has been completed for Roman Ferber. All scores on this card are Tier 1 + Tier 2 proxy estimates derived from statistical output in the BGL Ligue.

Empire FGA Verdict (Proxy Only)
FGA 5.5 (PROXY — T3 PENDING) — STATISTICAL OUTPUT ONLY, NO VIDEO VALIDATION. Ferber's 21-goal, 9-assist season in the BGL Ligue[reference:13] is objectively impressive and contributed directly to Atert Bissen's historic title win[reference:14]. 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)
UCL Qualifying: Tier 3.0+
UECL Qualifying: Tier 2.6+
Ferber's statistical output is set against a modest domestic league context (BGL Ligue Tier 2.4). His 21-goal haul is impressive in isolation, but LOG adjustment is critical before comparing this output to strikers in stronger leagues.

Cross-League Performance Projection
LOG (Level of Game) contextualizes performance across leagues of differing quality using Empire FGA's Competition_Tier_Base reference. Ferber's current FGA of 5.5 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).
Eredivisie: 5.5 × (2.4 ÷ 2.8) = 4.7
Belgian Pro League: 5.5 × (2.4 ÷ 2.6) = 5.1
Critical limitation: This projection uses only Tier 1 statistical output. Without Tier 3 video validation, the system cannot assess whether Ferber's movement, decision-making, and spatial intelligence would translate to a stronger league. Do not use this projection for recruitment decisions.

Tactical Archetype (Proxy)
"The Target Man / Poacher" — A 192cm centre-forward who led the BGL Ligue in scoring with 21 goals[reference:15]. Statistical profile suggests a penalty-box presence who finishes chances and contributes assists, but Tier 3 validation is required to confirm movement quality, spatial intelligence, and whether this output translates to stronger leagues.
