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 Vizela's Ruly García at 25 years old has the highest Pre-Peak Value Efficiency at 2.00×. That means Ruly García is valued 2.00× higher than the median player in the 24-26 age bracket—representing exceptional value before reaching peak age.
In second is Sporting CP B's Diego Callai, who is 21 years old, with a 1.11× PPVE. Third is Miguel Ángel Morro of Leixões SC, who is 25 years old with a 1.00× 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 2.00× means the player is worth 100% 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)
FC Porto B's Gonçalo Ribeiro has the highest Risk-Adjusted Upside at 154.3. That means Gonçalo Ribeiro has 40% upside potential with only 0% forecast uncertainty—representing excellent risk-reward for value appreciation.
In second is Sporting CP B's Diego Callai with a 103.3 RAU (23% upside, 0% uncertainty). Third is Antonio Gomis of FC Vizela with a 100.1 RAU (19% upside, 0% uncertainty).
How RAU is calculated: RAU divides upside potential by forecast uncertainty (RAU = Upside % ÷ Uncertainty %). A RAU of 154.3 means the upside is 154.3× 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)
CD Feirense's Diego Altube in the 24-26 age bracket has the highest Age-Share Concentration at +-10.7%. That means Ruly García captures 24.6% of total market value while representing only 35.3% of players in their age group—showing dominant elite status.
In second is CD Feirense's Francisco Meixedo with a +-10.7% ASC (24.6% value share vs 35.3% player share in 24-26 bracket). Third is Ruly García of FC Vizela with a +-10.7% ASC (24.6% value vs 35.3% players in 24-26 bracket).
How ASC is calculated: ASC = (% of total value) - (% of total players) in age bracket. A +-10.7% ASC means the player captures -10.7% more market value than their numerical representation—indicating marquee status. ASC > +15% = elite dominance, ASC < -15% = potential value targets.
