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)
PSV Eindhoven's Ruben van Bommel at 21 years old has the highest Pre-Peak Value Efficiency at 12.00×. That means Ruben van Bommel is valued 12.00× higher than the median player in the 21-23 age bracket—representing exceptional value before reaching peak age.
In second is Ajax Amsterdam's Mika Godts, who is 20 years old, with a 8.67× PPVE. Third is Yoann Cathline of FC Utrecht, who is 23 years old with a 8.00× 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 12.00× means the player is worth 1100% 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.
Understanding Return-to-Peak Potential (RPP)
Feyenoord Rotterdam's Leo Sauer at 19 years old has the highest Return-to-Peak Potential at +40%. That means Leo Sauer is projected to appreciate 40% as they reach their peak age in 7 years—representing significant upside before entering their prime.

Risk-Adjusted Upside (RAU)
Upside potential weighted against forecast uncertainty. Higher RAU = better risk-reward profile.
Understanding Risk-Adjusted Upside (RAU)
Feyenoord Rotterdam's Aymen Sliti has the highest Risk-Adjusted Upside at 58.0. That means Leo Sauer has 19% upside potential with only 0% forecast uncertainty—representing excellent risk-reward for value appreciation.
In second is Feyenoord Rotterdam's Leo Sauer with a 58.0 RAU (19% upside, 0% uncertainty). Third is Brahim Ghalidi of NAC Breda with a 46.3 RAU (15% 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: 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)
Feyenoord Rotterdam's Leo Sauer in the U21 age bracket has the highest Age-Share Concentration at +13.5%. That means Mika Godts captures 27.0% of total market value while representing only 13.5% of players in their age group—showing dominant elite status.
In second is NAC Breda's Brahim Ghalidi with a +13.5% ASC (27.0% value share vs 13.5% player share in U21 bracket). Third is Mika Godts of Ajax Amsterdam with a +13.5% ASC (27.0% value vs 13.5% players in U21 bracket).
How ASC is calculated: ASC = (% of total value) - (% of total players) in age bracket. A +13.5% ASC means the player captures 13.5% more market value than their numerical representation—indicating marquee status. ASC > +15% = elite dominance, ASC < -15% = potential value targets.
