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)
Celta de Vigo's Sergio Carreira at 25 years old has the highest Pre-Peak Value Efficiency at 2.67×. That means Sergio Carreira is valued 2.67× higher than the median player in the 24-26 age bracket—representing exceptional value before reaching peak age.
In second is Atlético de Madrid's Marc Pubill, who is 22 years old, with a 1.33× PPVE. Third is Jon Aramburu of Real Sociedad, who is 23 years old with a 1.25× 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 2.67× means the player is worth 167% 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)

Risk-Adjusted Upside (RAU)
Upside potential weighted against forecast uncertainty. Higher RAU = better risk-reward profile.
Understanding Risk-Adjusted Upside (RAU)
Elche CF's Héctor Fort has the highest Risk-Adjusted Upside at 58.0. That means Héctor Fort 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: 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)
RCD Mallorca's Pablo Maffeo in the 27-29 age bracket has the highest Age-Share Concentration at +24.0%. That means Trent Alexander-Arnold captures 49.6% of total market value while representing only 25.6% of players in their age group—showing dominant elite status.
In second is Real Sociedad's Álvaro Odriozola with a +24.0% ASC (49.6% value share vs 25.6% player share in 27-29 bracket). Third is Andoni Gorosabel of Athletic Bilbao with a +24.0% ASC (49.6% value vs 25.6% players in 27-29 bracket).
How ASC is calculated: ASC = (% of total value) - (% of total players) in age bracket. A +24.0% ASC means the player captures 24.0% more market value than their numerical representation—indicating marquee status. ASC > +15% = elite dominance, ASC < -15% = potential value targets.
