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)
CD Cruz Azul's Kevin Mier at 25 years old has the highest Pre-Peak Value Efficiency at 15.00×. That means Kevin Mier is valued 15.00× higher than the median player in the 24-26 age bracket—representing exceptional value before reaching peak age.
In second is Deportivo Guadalajara's Raúl Rangel, who is 25 years old, with a 10.00× PPVE. Third is Fernando Tapia of Tigres UANL, who is 24 years old with a 4.00× 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 15.00× means the player is worth 1400% 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)
CD Cruz Azul's Emmanuel Ochoa has the highest Risk-Adjusted Upside at 118.5. That means Pablo Lara has 28% upside potential with only 0% forecast uncertainty—representing excellent risk-reward for value appreciation.
In second is UNAM Pumas's Pablo Lara with a 118.5 RAU (28% upside, 0% uncertainty). Third is José Eulogio of CF Pachuca with a 103.3 RAU (23% upside, 0% uncertainty).
How RAU is calculated: RAU divides upside potential by forecast uncertainty (RAU = Upside % ÷ Uncertainty %). A RAU of 118.5 means the upside is 118.5× 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: goalkeeper 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)
Tigres UANL's Felipe Rodríguez in the 30+ age bracket has the highest Age-Share Concentration at +-22.8%. That means Ezequiel Unsain captures 16.6% of total market value while representing only 39.5% of players in their age group—showing dominant elite status.
In second is Deportivo Toluca's Hugo González with a +-22.8% ASC (16.6% value share vs 39.5% player share in 30+ bracket). Third is Antonio Rodríguez of Club Tijuana with a +-22.8% ASC (16.6% value vs 39.5% players in 30+ bracket).
How ASC is calculated: ASC = (% of total value) - (% of total players) in age bracket. A +-22.8% ASC means the player captures -22.8% more market value than their numerical representation—indicating marquee status. ASC > +15% = elite dominance, ASC < -15% = potential value targets.
