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.

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)
FC Porto B's Gonçalo Ribeiro has the highest Risk-Adjusted Upside at 184.5. That means Gonçalo Ribeiro has 51% upside potential with only 0% forecast uncertainty—representing excellent risk-reward for value appreciation.
In second is FC Penafiel's Manuel Baldé with a 166.3 RAU (36% upside, 0% uncertainty). Third is Antonio Gomis of FC Vizela with a 166.3 RAU (36% upside, 0% uncertainty).
How RAU is calculated: RAU divides upside potential by forecast uncertainty (RAU = Upside % ÷ Uncertainty %). A RAU of 184.5 means the upside is 184.5× 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)
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.
