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 América's Ramón Juárez at 25 years old has the highest Pre-Peak Value Efficiency at 2.40×. That means Jesús Orozco Chiquete is valued 2.40× higher than the median player in the 24-26 age bracket—representing exceptional value before reaching peak age.

In second is CD Cruz Azul's Jesús Orozco Chiquete, who is 24 years old, with a 2.40× PPVE. Third is Víctor Guzmán of CF Monterrey, who is 24 years old with a 2.00× 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 2.40× means the player is worth 140% 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)

Puebla FC's José Pachuca has the highest Risk-Adjusted Upside at 46.3. That means José Pachuca has 15% upside potential with only 0% forecast uncertainty—representing excellent risk-reward for value appreciation.

In second is Deportivo Toluca's Everardo López with a 33.7 RAU (10% upside, 0% uncertainty). Third is Luis Gabriel Rey of Puebla FC with a 27.5 RAU (7% upside, 0% uncertainty).

How RAU is calculated: RAU divides upside potential by forecast uncertainty (RAU = Upside % ÷ Uncertainty %). A RAU of 46.3 means the upside is 46.3× greater than the uncertainty—making it a high-confidence growth opportunity. Target RAU ≥2.0 for balanced risk-reward.

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: centre-back 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)

Atlético de San Luis's Eduardo Águila in the 24-26 age bracket has the highest Age-Share Concentration at +16.8%. That means Federico Pereira captures 41.8% of total market value while representing only 25.0% of players in their age group—showing dominant elite status.

In second is Santos Laguna's Haret Ortega with a +16.8% ASC (41.8% value share vs 25.0% player share in 24-26 bracket). Third is Jackson Porozo of Club Tijuana with a +16.8% ASC (41.8% value vs 25.0% players in 24-26 bracket).

How ASC is calculated: ASC = (% of total value) - (% of total players) in age bracket. A +16.8% ASC means the player captures 16.8% more market value than their numerical representation—indicating marquee status. ASC > +15% = elite dominance, ASC < -15% = potential value targets.
