Scout Tools
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)
Gimnasia y Esgrima de Mendoza's Facundo Lencioni at 24 years old has the highest Pre-Peak Value Efficiency at 3.00×. That means Facundo Lencioni is valued 3.00× higher than the median player in the 24-26 age bracket—representing exceptional value before reaching peak age.
In second is CA Central Norte's Luciano Ferreyra, who is 23 years old, with a 2.75× PPVE. Third is Pablo Palacio of Club Ferro Carril Oeste, who is 25 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 3.00× means the player is worth 200% 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)
CA Los Andes's Tomás Pérez at 19 years old has the highest Return-to-Peak Potential at +40%. That means Mateo Benegas is projected to appreciate 40% as they reach their peak age in 7 years—representing significant upside before entering their prime.

How RPP is calculated: RPP compares a player's current market value to their forecasted peak value, calculating the percentage appreciation potential. A 40% RPP means the player is expected to gain 40% value as they enter their prime—making them excellent growth investments.

Risk-Adjusted Upside (RAU)
Upside potential weighted against forecast uncertainty. Higher RAU = better risk-reward profile.
Understanding Risk-Adjusted Upside (RAU)
Club Ferro Carril Oeste's Lucas Ruiz has the highest Risk-Adjusted Upside at 79.9. That means Lucas Ruiz has 15% upside potential with only 0% forecast uncertainty—representing excellent risk-reward for value appreciation.
In second is Gimnasia y Esgrima de Mendoza's Felipe San Juan with a 58.1 RAU (10% upside, 0% uncertainty). Third is Luciano Jachfe of CA Mitre with a 58.1 RAU (10% upside, 0% uncertainty).
How RAU is calculated: RAU divides upside potential by forecast uncertainty (RAU = Upside % ÷ Uncertainty %). A RAU of 79.9 means the upside is 79.9× 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: player 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)
CS Deportivo Madryn's Yair Bonnín in the 30+ age bracket has the highest Age-Share Concentration at +2.1%. That means Iker Muniain captures 31.7% of total market value while representing only 29.6% of players in their age group—showing dominant elite status.
In second is CA Colón's Facundo Sánchez with a +2.1% ASC (31.7% value share vs 29.6% player share in 30+ bracket). Third is Emanuel Dening of CA San Miguel with a +2.1% ASC (31.7% value vs 29.6% players in 30+ bracket).
How ASC is calculated: ASC = (% of total value) - (% of total players) in age bracket. A +2.1% ASC means the player captures 2.1% more market value than their numerical representation—indicating marquee status. ASC > +15% = elite dominance, ASC < -15% = potential value targets.
Value Concentration by Player
