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)
CF Pachuca's Elías Montiel at 20 years old has the highest Pre-Peak Value Efficiency at 6.25×. That means Elías Montiel is valued 6.25× higher than the median player in the U21 age bracket—representing exceptional value before reaching peak age.
In second is Deportivo Toluca's Marcel Ruiz, who is 25 years old, with a 6.00× PPVE. Third is Armando González of Deportivo Guadalajara, who is 23 years old with a 5.83× 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 6.25× means the player is worth 525% 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)
UNAM Pumas's Pablo Lara at 20 years old has the highest Return-to-Peak Potential at +48%. That means Jordan García is projected to appreciate 48% as they reach their peak age in 6 years—representing significant upside before entering their prime.

Risk-Adjusted Upside (RAU)
Upside potential weighted against forecast uncertainty. Higher RAU = better risk-reward profile.
Understanding Risk-Adjusted Upside (RAU)
Club León FC's Jordan García has the highest Risk-Adjusted Upside at 118.5. That means Jordan García has 28% 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: 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)
CF Pachuca's William Carvalho in the 30+ age bracket has the highest Age-Share Concentration at +-5.5%. That means Ángel Correa captures 21.1% of total market value while representing only 26.6% of players in their age group—showing dominant elite status.
In second is Tigres UANL's Felipe Rodríguez with a +-5.5% ASC (21.1% value share vs 26.6% player share in 30+ bracket). Third is Diego de Buen of Club Necaxa with a +-5.5% ASC (21.1% value vs 26.6% players in 30+ bracket).
How ASC is calculated: ASC = (% of total value) - (% of total players) in age bracket. A +-5.5% ASC means the player captures -5.5% more market value than their numerical representation—indicating marquee status. ASC > +15% = elite dominance, ASC < -15% = potential value targets.
