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)
AZ Alkmaar's Rome Jayden Owusu-Oduro at 21 years old has the highest Pre-Peak Value Efficiency at 20.00×. That means Rome Jayden Owusu-Oduro is valued 20.00× higher than the median player in the 21-23 age bracket—representing exceptional value before reaching peak age.
In second is FC Volendam's Kayne van Oevelen, who is 22 years old, with a 3.33× PPVE. Third is Vitezslav Jaros of Ajax Amsterdam, who is 24 years old with a 2.40× 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 20.00× means the player is worth 1900% 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)
SC Heerenveen's Bernt Klaverboer has the highest Risk-Adjusted Upside at 172.2. That means Tom de Graaff has 46% upside potential with only 0% forecast uncertainty—representing excellent risk-reward for value appreciation.
In second is PEC Zwolle's Tom de Graaff with a 172.2 RAU (46% upside, 0% uncertainty). Third is Daniël Virginio Deen of AZ Alkmaar with a 166.3 RAU (36% upside, 0% uncertainty).
How RAU is calculated: RAU divides upside potential by forecast uncertainty (RAU = Upside % ÷ Uncertainty %). A RAU of 172.2 means the upside is 172.2× 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)
AZ Alkmaar's Hobie Verhulst in the 30+ age bracket has the highest Age-Share Concentration at +-14.3%. That means Nick Olij captures 25.7% of total market value while representing only 40.0% of players in their age group—showing dominant elite status.
In second is NEC Nijmegen's Jasper Cillessen with a +-14.3% ASC (25.7% value share vs 40.0% player share in 30+ bracket). Third is Filip Bednarek of Sparta Rotterdam with a +-14.3% ASC (25.7% value vs 40.0% players in 30+ bracket).
How ASC is calculated: ASC = (% of total value) - (% of total players) in age bracket. A +-14.3% ASC means the player captures -14.3% more market value than their numerical representation—indicating marquee status. ASC > +15% = elite dominance, ASC < -15% = potential value targets.
