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)
FC Barcelona's Joan García at 24 years old has the highest Pre-Peak Value Efficiency at 5.00×. That means Joan García is valued 5.00× higher than the median player in the 24-26 age bracket—representing exceptional value before reaching peak age.
In second is Valencia CF's Julen Agirrezabala, who is 24 years old, with a 3.00× PPVE. Third is Luiz Júnior of Villarreal CF, who is 24 years old with a 2.00× 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 5.00× means the player is worth 400% more than typical players their age—making them high-value targets before they reach peak value.
PPVE by Age Bracket

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)
Girona FC's Vladyslav Krapyvtsov has the highest Risk-Adjusted Upside at 172.2. That means Vladyslav Krapyvtsov has 46% upside potential with only 0% forecast uncertainty—representing excellent risk-reward for value appreciation.
In second is Elche CF's Alejandro Iturbe with a 166.3 RAU (36% upside, 0% uncertainty). Third is Álex Padilla of Athletic Bilbao 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 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)
Elche CF's Iñaki Peña in the 24-26 age bracket has the highest Age-Share Concentration at +13.6%. That means Joan García captures 36.5% of total market value while representing only 22.9% of players in their age group—showing dominant elite status.
In second is Getafe CF's Jiri Letacek with a +13.6% ASC (36.5% value share vs 22.9% player share in 24-26 bracket). Third is Diego Conde of Villarreal CF with a +13.6% ASC (36.5% value vs 22.9% players in 24-26 bracket).
How ASC is calculated: ASC = (% of total value) - (% of total players) in age bracket. A +13.6% ASC means the player captures 13.6% more market value than their numerical representation—indicating marquee status. ASC > +15% = elite dominance, ASC < -15% = potential value targets.
