Advanced analytics for scouting and recruitment decisions. Each tool provides unique insights into player value, potential, and market dynamics.
Pre-Peak Value Efficiency (PPVE)
Identifies pre-peak players offering exceptional value relative to their age bracket. Higher PPVE = better value.
Understanding Pre-Peak Value Efficiency (PPVE)
Liverpool FC's Giorgi Mamardashvili at 25 years old has the highest Pre-Peak Value Efficiency at 60.00×. That means Giorgi Mamardashvili is valued 60.00× higher than the median player in the 24-26 age bracket—representing exceptional value before reaching peak age.
In second is Atalanta BC's Marco Carnesecchi, who is 25 years old, with a 50.00× PPVE. Third is Lucas Chevalier of Paris Saint-Germain, who is 23 years old with a 50.00× PPVE.
How PPVE is calculated: PPVE compares a player's current market value to the median value of all players in their age bracket. A PPVE of 60.00× means the player is worth 5900% more than typical players their age—making them high-value targets before they reach peak value.

Return-to-Peak Potential (RPP)
Recovery potential from current value to forecasted peak. Shows how much upside remains for players approaching their prime.
No RPP data available (requires forecast values in database)
Risk-Adjusted Upside (RAU)
Upside potential weighted against forecast uncertainty. Higher RAU = better risk-reward profile.
Understanding Risk-Adjusted Upside (RAU)
Fiorentina Primavera's Tommaso Vannucchi has the highest Risk-Adjusted Upside at 196.1. That means Tommaso Vannucchi has 56% upside potential with only 0% forecast uncertainty—representing excellent risk-reward for value appreciation.
In second is Brighton & Hove Albion U21's Nils Ramming with a 196.1 RAU (56% upside, 0% uncertainty). Third is Denys Marchenko of Obolon Kyiv with a 196.1 RAU (56% upside, 0% uncertainty).
How RAU is calculated: RAU divides upside potential by forecast uncertainty (RAU = Upside % ÷ Uncertainty %). A RAU of 196.1 means the upside is 196.1× greater than the uncertainty—making it a high-confidence growth opportunity. Target RAU ≥2.0 for balanced risk-reward.

Roster Pressure Index (RPI)
Squad depth pressure based on Z-score distribution. Negative RPI = thin depth, positive = deep roster.
What This Shows
Z-Score explained: Measures how many standard deviations a player's strength is from the position average. Z-Score = 0 means average, +1.0 is one standard deviation above average, -1.0 is below average.
How to use: RPI < -1.0 indicates critical depth shortage. These positions need immediate reinforcement. RPI > +1.0 suggests strong depth, allowing selective, high-value additions only.
Current market: goalkeeper position shows strong depth (avg Z-score: 0.00). RPI: 0.00.

Age-Share Concentration (ASC)
Identifies players capturing disproportionate value relative to age group representation. Positive ASC = value concentration.
Understanding Age-Share Concentration (ASC)
Independiente Santa Fe's Andrés Mosquera in the 30+ age bracket has the highest Age-Share Concentration at +-7.5%. That means David Raya captures 29.2% of total market value while representing only 36.7% of players in their age group—showing dominant elite status.
In second is CD Universidad Católica's Rafael Romo with a +-7.5% ASC (29.2% value share vs 36.7% player share in 30+ bracket). Third is Edgar Badia of Cultural Leonesa with a +-7.5% ASC (29.2% value vs 36.7% players in 30+ bracket).
How ASC is calculated: ASC = (% of total value) - (% of total players) in age bracket. A +-7.5% ASC means the player captures -7.5% more market value than their numerical representation—indicating marquee status. ASC > +15% = elite dominance, ASC < -15% = potential value targets.
