FGA Weighting Breakdown
LOG Context
Copa del Rey: Tier 3.0 (estimated)
UECL Qualifying: Tier 2.0-2.5
Sidibe has played primarily in lower-tier Spanish football (Segunda Federación) and Andorran football. The UECL qualifying matches represent his highest-profile exposure to date.
Provisional FGA Calculation
Tier1 avg ≈ 6.0 (based on limited sample, physical profile), Tier2 avg ≈ 6.0 (proxy), Tier3 est ≈ 6.2 (conservative).
FGA = (6.0×0.20) + (6.0×0.30) + (6.2×0.50) = 1.2 + 1.8 + 3.1 = 6.1

For reference: The Andorran Primera Divisió sits at LOG 1.6 (estimated), one of the lowest tiers in the Empire FGA system. Sidibe's career has been in lower-tier Spanish and Andorran football, with UECL qualifying representing the highest level he has played at. The central question is whether he can produce at a higher level — exactly what the scout question is designed to answer.
Top Philosophy Fits (Proxy)
Tactical Archetype (Proxy)
"The Unproven Wide Forward" — Sidibe's physical profile (186cm) and position (right winger) suggest a player who could offer width and physical presence. But the lack of senior output (0 goals, 0 assists in recorded appearances) makes this purely speculative. T3 validation is required to determine whether there's a player worth investing in.

◆ Empire FGA Verdict (Provisional)
FGA 6.1 (PROXY) — LIMITED SAMPLE · OUTPUT QUESTION OPEN. Soule Sidibe is a 27-year-old Malian winger with a physical profile (186cm) and European experience (UECL qualifying). But the recorded output is essentially zero — 0 goals, 0 assists in the limited appearances on record. The central question — can he produce at a higher level? — cannot be answered from Tier 1 data. Tier 3 video assessment is required to evaluate his movement, decision-making, and attacking output. This 6.1 is a placeholder estimate — do not use for decisions. Best deployed as a wide forward in a system that values physical presence, but the output question is the entire ballgame here.
Why This Set
The output test is built into the selection: #1 and #2 are the UECL qualifying matches (already attached, highest level); #3 is domestic home (baseline); #4 is domestic away (environment test); #5 is Copa del Rey (higher opposition).
Direct relevance to the scout question: Can he produce at a higher level? Compare #1/#2 vs #3/#5. Score output-related metrics (SPI, SOA, CRK, DMA) first if time is limited — they're the sub-metrics most directly tied to the scout question.
