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 21 years old has the highest Pre-Peak Value Efficiency at 43.75×. That means Vitor Roque is valued 43.75× higher than the median player in the 21-23 age bracket—representing exceptional value before reaching peak age.

Risk-Adjusted Upside (RAU)
Upside potential weighted against forecast uncertainty. Higher RAU = better risk-reward profile.
Understanding Risk-Adjusted Upside (RAU)
São Paulo Futebol Clube's Ryan Francisco has the highest Risk-Adjusted Upside at 58.0. That means Ryan Francisco has 19% 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: striker 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)
Santos FC's Tiquinho Soares in the 30+ age bracket has the highest Age-Share Concentration at +-21.0%. That means Memphis Depay captures 16.8% of total market value while representing only 37.7% of players in their age group—showing dominant elite status.

How ASC is calculated: ASC = (% of total value) - (% of total players) in age bracket. A +-21.0% ASC means the player captures -21.0% more market value than their numerical representation—indicating marquee status. ASC > +15% = elite dominance, ASC < -15% = potential value targets.
