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)
FC Porto B's Tomás Pérez at 20 years old has the highest Pre-Peak Value Efficiency at 6.00×. That means Tomás Pérez is valued 6.00× higher than the median player in the U21 age bracket—representing exceptional value before reaching peak age.
In second is SL Benfica B's José Neto, who is 18 years old, with a 6.00× PPVE. Third is Diogo Prioste of SL Benfica B, who is 22 years old with a 5.71× 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 6.00× means the player is worth 500% more than typical players their age—making them high-value targets before they reach peak value.

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)
Sporting CP B's Gabriel Silva in the U21 age bracket has the highest Age-Share Concentration at +7.9%. That means Tomás Pérez captures 21.5% of total market value while representing only 13.7% of players in their age group—showing dominant elite status.
