Scout Tools
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)
Real Madrid's Vinicius Junior at 25 years old has the highest Pre-Peak Value Efficiency at 214.29×. That means Vinicius Junior is valued 214.29× higher than the median player in the 24-26 age bracket—representing exceptional value before reaching peak age.
In second is Paris Saint-Germain's Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, who is 24 years old, with a 128.57× PPVE. Third is Bradley Barcola of Paris Saint-Germain, who is 23 years old with a 100.00× 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 214.29× means the player is worth 21329% more than typical players their age—making them high-value targets before they reach peak value.

Risk-Adjusted Upside (RAU)
Upside potential weighted against forecast uncertainty. Higher RAU = better risk-reward profile.
Understanding Risk-Adjusted Upside (RAU)
Rangers FC's Mikey Moore has the highest Risk-Adjusted Upside at 68.9. That means Mikey Moore has 23% upside potential with only 0% forecast uncertainty—representing excellent risk-reward for value appreciation.
In second is Club Nacional's Bruno Arady with a 68.9 RAU (23% upside, 0% uncertainty). Third is Martín Mundaca of Coquimbo Unido with a 68.9 RAU (23% upside, 0% uncertainty).
How RAU is calculated: RAU divides upside potential by forecast uncertainty (RAU = Upside % ÷ Uncertainty %). A RAU of 68.9 means the upside is 68.9× 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: left winger position shows weak 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)
Club Ferro Carril Oeste's Agustín Alonso in the 24-26 age bracket has the highest Age-Share Concentration at +11.9%. That means Khvicha Kvaratskhelia captures 37.9% of total market value while representing only 26.0% of players in their age group—showing dominant elite status.
In second is Kryvbas Kryvyi Rig's Gleiker Mendoza with a +11.9% ASC (37.9% value share vs 26.0% player share in 24-26 bracket). Third is Jefry Zapata of Once Caldas with a +11.9% ASC (37.9% value vs 26.0% players in 24-26 bracket).
How ASC is calculated: ASC = (% of total value) - (% of total players) in age bracket. A +11.9% ASC means the player captures 11.9% more market value than their numerical representation—indicating marquee status. ASC > +15% = elite dominance, ASC < -15% = potential value targets.
