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)
Feyenoord Rotterdam's Givairo Read at 19 years old has the highest Pre-Peak Value Efficiency at 25.00×. That means Givairo Read is valued 25.00× higher than the median player in the U21 age bracket—representing exceptional value before reaching peak age.
In second is PSV Eindhoven's Sergiño Dest, who is 24 years old, with a 6.00× PPVE. Third is Kiliann Sildillia of PSV Eindhoven, who is 23 years old with a 2.50× 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 25.00× means the player is worth 2400% 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)
Feyenoord Rotterdam's Givairo Read has the highest Risk-Adjusted Upside at 96.4. That means Givairo Read has 36% upside potential with only 0% forecast uncertainty—representing excellent risk-reward for value appreciation.
In second is SC Heerenveen's Mats Egbring with a 96.4 RAU (36% upside, 0% uncertainty). Third is Cherrion Valerius of NAC Breda with a 86.2 RAU (31% upside, 0% uncertainty).
How RAU is calculated: RAU divides upside potential by forecast uncertainty (RAU = Upside % ÷ Uncertainty %). A RAU of 96.4 means the upside is 96.4× 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: right-back 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)
NEC Nijmegen's Eli Dasa in the 30+ age bracket has the highest Age-Share Concentration at +-10.7%. That means Rick Karsdorp captures 4.9% of total market value while representing only 15.6% of players in their age group—showing dominant elite status.
In second is Willem II Tilburg's Mickaël Tirpan with a +-10.7% ASC (4.9% value share vs 15.6% player share in 30+ bracket). Third is Rick Karsdorp of Without Club with a +-10.7% ASC (4.9% value vs 15.6% players in 30+ bracket).
How ASC is calculated: ASC = (% of total value) - (% of total players) in age bracket. A +-10.7% ASC means the player captures -10.7% more market value than their numerical representation—indicating marquee status. ASC > +15% = elite dominance, ASC < -15% = potential value targets.
