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)
Sociedade Esportiva Palmeiras's Vitor Roque at 20 years old has the highest Pre-Peak Value Efficiency at 10.00×. That means Vitor Roque is valued 10.00× higher than the median player in the U21 age bracket—representing exceptional value before reaching peak age.
In second is Botafogo de Futebol e Regatas's Danilo, who is 24 years old, with a 9.33× PPVE. Third is Rayan of Clube de Regatas Vasco da Gama, who is 19 years old with a 9.00× 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 10.00× means the player is worth 900% 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)
Botafogo de Futebol e Regatas's Cristhian Loor has the highest Risk-Adjusted Upside at 154.3. That means Cristhian Loor has 40% upside potential with only 0% forecast uncertainty—representing excellent risk-reward for value appreciation.

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: player 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)
Santos FC's Gil in the 30+ age bracket has the highest Age-Share Concentration at +-15.7%. That means Giorgian de Arrascaeta captures 19.7% of total market value while representing only 35.4% of players in their age group—showing dominant elite status.
In second is Sport Club do Recife's Aderlan with a +-15.7% ASC (19.7% value share vs 35.4% player share in 30+ bracket). Third is Jorginho of CR Flamengo with a +-15.7% ASC (19.7% value vs 35.4% players in 30+ bracket).
How ASC is calculated: ASC = (% of total value) - (% of total players) in age bracket. A +-15.7% ASC means the player captures -15.7% more market value than their numerical representation—indicating marquee status. ASC > +15% = elite dominance, ASC < -15% = potential value targets.
