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.
No RPP data available (requires forecast values in database)
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 75.2. That means Rogelio Cortéz has 26% upside potential with only 0% forecast uncertainty—representing excellent risk-reward for value appreciation.
In second is Querétaro FC's Jesús Hernández with a 75.2 RAU (26% upside, 0% uncertainty). Third is Armando González of Deportivo Guadalajara with a 72.7 RAU (21% upside, 0% uncertainty).
How RAU is calculated: RAU divides upside potential by forecast uncertainty (RAU = Upside % ÷ Uncertainty %). A RAU of 75.2 means the upside is 75.2× 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)
CF Monterrey's Anthony Martial in the 27-29 age bracket has the highest Age-Share Concentration at +12.1%. That means Anthony Martial captures 33.9% of total market value while representing only 21.8% of players in their age group—showing dominant elite status.
In second is Club Tijuana's Shamar Nicholson with a +12.1% ASC (33.9% value share vs 21.8% player share in 27-29 bracket). Third is Víctor Dávila of CF América with a +12.1% ASC (33.9% value vs 21.8% players in 27-29 bracket).
How ASC is calculated: ASC = (% of total value) - (% of total players) in age bracket. A +12.1% ASC means the player captures 12.1% more market value than their numerical representation—indicating marquee status. ASC > +15% = elite dominance, ASC < -15% = potential value targets.
