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)

CA River Plate's Kevin Castaño at 25 years old has the highest Pre-Peak Value Efficiency at 7.78×. That means Kevin Castaño is valued 7.78× higher than the median player in the 24-26 age bracket—representing exceptional value before reaching peak age.

In second is CA Huracán's Leonel Pérez, who is 21 years old, with a 7.50× PPVE. Third is Franco Ibarra of CA Rosario Central, who is 25 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 7.78× means the player is worth 678% more than typical players their age—making them high-value targets before they reach peak value.

Risk-Adjusted Upside (RAU)

Upside potential weighted against forecast uncertainty. Higher RAU = better risk-reward profile.

Understanding Risk-Adjusted Upside (RAU)

CA Lanús's Agustín Medina has the highest Risk-Adjusted Upside at 68.9. That means Agustín Medina has 23% upside potential with only 0% forecast uncertainty—representing excellent risk-reward for value appreciation.

In second is CA Newell's Old Boys's Luca Regiardo with a 68.9 RAU (23% upside, 0% uncertainty). Third is Valentino Acuña of CA Newell's Old Boys with a 58.0 RAU (19% upside, 0% uncertainty).

How RAU is calculated: RAU divides upside potential by forecast uncertainty (RAU = Upside % ÷ Uncertainty %). A RAU of 68.9 means the upside is 68.9× 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: defensive midfielder 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)

Racing Club's Bruno Zuculini in the 30+ age bracket has the highest Age-Share Concentration at +-16.0%. That means Leandro Paredes captures 16.0% of total market value while representing only 32.0% of players in their age group—showing dominant elite status.

In second is CA Colón's Federico Lértora with a +-16.0% ASC (16.0% value share vs 32.0% player share in 30+ bracket). Third is Yeison Gordillo of CA Barracas Central with a +-16.0% ASC (16.0% value vs 32.0% players in 30+ bracket).

How ASC is calculated: ASC = (% of total value) - (% of total players) in age bracket. A +-16.0% ASC means the player captures -16.0% more market value than their numerical representation—indicating marquee status. ASC > +15% = elite dominance, ASC < -15% = potential value targets.
