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)
CA San Miguel's Iván Grance at 25 years old has the highest Pre-Peak Value Efficiency at 2.00×. That means Iván Grance is valued 2.00× higher than the median player in the 24-26 age bracket—representing exceptional value before reaching peak age.
In second is CA Agropecuario's Enzo Silcan, who is 25 years old, with a 1.60× PPVE. Third is Marco Campagnaro of Club Deportivo Maipú, who is 22 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 2.00× means the player is worth 100% more than typical players their age—making them high-value targets before they reach peak value.

Recovery potential from current value to forecasted peak. Shows how much upside remains for players approaching their prime.
Understanding Return-to-Peak Potential (RPP)

How RPP is calculated: RPP compares a player's current market value to their forecasted peak value, calculating the percentage appreciation potential. A 25% RPP means the player is expected to gain 25% 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)
CA Temperley's Nahuel Genez has the highest Risk-Adjusted Upside at 23.0. That means Nahuel Genez has 6% upside potential with only 0% forecast uncertainty—representing excellent risk-reward for value appreciation.
In second is CA Nueva Chicago's Diego Arroyo with a 23.0 RAU (6% upside, 0% uncertainty). Third is Marco Campagnaro of Club Deportivo Maipú with a 23.0 RAU (6% upside, 0% uncertainty).
How RAU is calculated: RAU divides upside potential by forecast uncertainty (RAU = Upside % ÷ Uncertainty %). A RAU of 23.0 means the upside is 23.0× greater than the uncertainty—making it a high-confidence growth opportunity. Target RAU ≥2.0 for balanced risk-reward.
Risk-Adjusted Upside by Player

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: left-back 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)
Club Almagro's Marcos Pinto in the 30+ age bracket has the highest Age-Share Concentration at +4.6%. That means Facundo Cobos captures 39.4% of total market value while representing only 34.8% of players in their age group—showing dominant elite status.

How ASC is calculated: ASC = (% of total value) - (% of total players) in age bracket. A +4.6% ASC means the player captures 4.6% more market value than their numerical representation—indicating marquee status. ASC > +15% = elite dominance, ASC < -15% = potential value targets.
