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)
Portimonense SAD's Heitor at 24 years old has the highest Pre-Peak Value Efficiency at 2.00×. That means Heitor 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 FC Paços de Ferreira's Miguel Mota, who is 22 years old, with a 1.00× PPVE. Third is Tiago Almeida of GD Chaves, who is 24 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.
PPVE by Age Bracket
| Rank | Player | Age | Bracket | Current Value | Bracket Median | PPVE |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| #1 | Heitor Portimonense SAD | 24 | 24-26 | €600K | €300K | 2.00× |
| #2 | Miguel Mota FC Paços de Ferreira | 22 | 21-23 | €200K | €200K | 1.00× |
| #3 | Tiago Almeida GD Chaves | 24 | 24-26 | €300K | €300K | 1.00× |
| #4 | Fran Delgado SC Farense | 24 | 24-26 | €250K | €300K | 0.83× |

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 Paços de Ferreira's Miguel Mota has the highest Risk-Adjusted Upside at 72.7. That means Miguel Mota has 21% upside potential with only 0% forecast uncertainty—representing excellent risk-reward for value appreciation.
In second is SC Farense's Fran Delgado with a 41.4 RAU (11% upside, 0% uncertainty). Third is Heitor of Portimonense SAD with a 41.4 RAU (11% upside, 0% uncertainty).
How RAU is calculated: RAU divides upside potential by forecast uncertainty (RAU = Upside % ÷ Uncertainty %). A RAU of 72.7 means the upside is 72.7× 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: right-back 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)
Académico Viseu FC's Tomás Domingos in the 24-26 age bracket has the highest Age-Share Concentration at +15.2%. That means Maga captures 78.8% of total market value while representing only 63.6% of players in their age group—showing dominant elite status.
In second is UD Leiria's Maga with a +15.2% ASC (78.8% value share vs 63.6% player share in 24-26 bracket). Third is Habib Sylla of UD Leiria with a +15.2% ASC (78.8% value vs 63.6% players in 24-26 bracket).
How ASC is calculated: ASC = (% of total value) - (% of total players) in age bracket. A +15.2% ASC means the player captures 15.2% more market value than their numerical representation—indicating marquee status. ASC > +15% = elite dominance, ASC < -15% = potential value targets.
