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)

Deportivo Guadalajara's Armando González at 22 years old has the highest Pre-Peak Value Efficiency at 2.50×. That means Armando González is valued 2.50× higher than the median player in the 21-23 age bracket—representing exceptional value before reaching peak age.

In second is Santos Laguna's Bruno Barticciotto, who is 24 years old, with a 2.00× PPVE. Third is Teun Wilke of Deportivo Guadalajara, who is 23 years old with a 1.50× 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 2.50× means the player is worth 150% 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)

Querétaro FC's Jesús Hernández at 21 years old has the highest Return-to-Peak Potential at +30%. That means Jesús Hernández is projected to appreciate 30% as they reach their peak age in 5 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 Necaxa's Rogelio Cortéz has the highest Risk-Adjusted Upside at 33.7. That means Rogelio Cortéz has 10% upside potential with only 0% forecast uncertainty—representing excellent risk-reward for value appreciation.

In second is Querétaro FC's Jesús Hernández with a 33.7 RAU (10% upside, 0% uncertainty). Third is Teun Wilke of Deportivo Guadalajara 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 33.7 means the upside is 33.7× 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: striker 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)

Club Tijuana's Shamar Nicholson in the 27-29 age bracket has the highest Age-Share Concentration at +12.2%. That means Germán Berterame captures 35.9% of total market value while representing only 23.6% of players in their age group—showing dominant elite status.

In second is CF América's Víctor Dávila with a +12.2% ASC (35.9% value share vs 23.6% player share in 27-29 bracket). Third is Óscar Estupiñán of FC Juárez with a +12.2% ASC (35.9% value vs 23.6% players in 27-29 bracket).

How ASC is calculated: ASC = (% of total value) - (% of total players) in age bracket. A +12.2% ASC means the player captures 12.2% more market value than their numerical representation—indicating marquee status. ASC > +15% = elite dominance, ASC < -15% = potential value targets.
