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)
Atlético de Madrid's Julián Alvarez at 25 years old has the highest Pre-Peak Value Efficiency at 16.67×. That means Julián Alvarez is valued 16.67× higher than the median player in the 24-26 age bracket—representing exceptional value before reaching peak age.
In second is FC Barcelona's Ferran Torres, who is 25 years old, with a 8.33× PPVE. Third is Georges Mikautadze of Villarreal CF, who is 24 years old with a 5.00× 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 16.67× means the player is worth 1567% 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)
Real Madrid's Endrick has the highest Risk-Adjusted Upside at 106.9. That means Endrick has 42% upside potential with only 0% forecast uncertainty—representing excellent risk-reward for value appreciation.
In second is Villarreal CF's Pau Cabanes with a 86.2 RAU (31% upside, 0% uncertainty). Third is Orri Óskarsson of Real Sociedad with a 75.2 RAU (26% upside, 0% uncertainty).
How RAU is calculated: RAU divides upside potential by forecast uncertainty (RAU = Upside % ÷ Uncertainty %). A RAU of 106.9 means the upside is 106.9× greater than the uncertainty—making it a high-confidence growth opportunity. Target RAU ≥2.0 for balanced risk-reward.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| #1 | Endrick Real Madrid | €49.6M | €42.8M-56.5M | +42% | 106.9 |

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: striker 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)
Athletic Bilbao's Maroan Sannadi in the 24-26 age bracket has the highest Age-Share Concentration at +31.8%. That means Kylian Mbappé captures 64.6% of total market value while representing only 32.8% of players in their age group—showing dominant elite status.
In second is Girona FC's Abel Ruiz with a +31.8% ASC (64.6% value share vs 32.8% player share in 24-26 bracket). Third is Kylian Mbappé of Real Madrid with a +31.8% ASC (64.6% value vs 32.8% players in 24-26 bracket).
How ASC is calculated: ASC = (% of total value) - (% of total players) in age bracket. A +31.8% ASC means the player captures 31.8% more market value than their numerical representation—indicating marquee status. ASC > +15% = elite dominance, ASC < -15% = potential value targets.
