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)

Clube de Regatas Vasco da Gama's Robert Renan at 22 years old has the highest Pre-Peak Value Efficiency at 7.50×. That means Robert Renan is valued 7.50× higher than the median player in the 21-23 age bracket—representing exceptional value before reaching peak age.

In second is Sport Club Internacional's Victor Gabriel, who is 21 years old, with a 5.00× PPVE. Third is David Ricardo of Botafogo de Futebol e Regatas, who is 22 years old with a 5.00× 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 7.50× means the player is worth 650% 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)

Esporte Clube Bahia's Luiz Gustavo has the highest Risk-Adjusted Upside at 58.0. That means Luiz Gustavo has 19% upside potential with only 0% forecast uncertainty—representing excellent risk-reward for value appreciation.

In second is Sociedade Esportiva Palmeiras's Luis Benedetti with a 58.0 RAU (19% upside, 0% uncertainty). Third is Iván Román of Clube Atlético Mineiro with a 58.0 RAU (19% upside, 0% uncertainty).

How RAU is calculated: RAU divides upside potential by forecast uncertainty (RAU = Upside % ÷ Uncertainty %). A RAU of 58.0 means the upside is 58.0× 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: centre-back 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 +-16.6%. That means Gustavo Gómez captures 19.0% of total market value while representing only 35.6% of players in their age group—showing dominant elite status.

In second is Fluminense Football Club's Manoel with a +-16.6% ASC (19.0% value share vs 35.6% player share in 30+ bracket). Third is Robert Arboleda of São Paulo Futebol Clube with a +-16.6% ASC (19.0% value vs 35.6% players in 30+ bracket).

How ASC is calculated: ASC = (% of total value) - (% of total players) in age bracket. A +-16.6% ASC means the player captures -16.6% more market value than their numerical representation—indicating marquee status. ASC > +15% = elite dominance, ASC < -15% = potential value targets.
