Xavier Balladares — Empire FGA Bio Stub

This is a bio stub, not a graded Empire FGA profile. There is no video evidence behind this page — no OBI/SII, no core-12 sub-metrics, no ultProxy. Every field below comes from a single secondary source: El Gráfico Especial — Mayo 1991 (Ecuador, "Uno por uno" feature on Emelec). This source has no season match/goal statistics at all (unlike the Argentina Primera sources) — it is a scouting-style bio feature: name, DOB, birthplace, height, weight, nickname, and a short prose scouting note.

Scouting note (as printed, translated context not added): Con 17 años, es una de las esperanzas del Emelec. Buen dominio del balón. Gran explosión de tres cuartos de cancha en adelante. Debe mejorar físicamente en el gimnasio para aguantar el ritmo de 90 minutos.

Transcribed verbatim from the magazine's "Uno por uno" feature on the 1991 Emelec squad. Position (FW) is as printed in the source's section grouping. Nationality is inferred from birthplace (not printed as a labeled field in this source).
