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 João Moreira at 22 years old has the highest Pre-Peak Value Efficiency at 4.00×. That means João Moreira is valued 4.00× higher than the median player in the 21-23 age bracket—representing exceptional value before reaching peak age.
In second is FC Porto B's Dinis, who is 21 years old, with a 2.67× PPVE. Third is Daniel Banjaqui of SL Benfica B, who is 18 years old with a 1.82× 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 4.00× means the player is worth 300% more than typical players their age—making them high-value targets before they reach peak value.

Understanding Return-to-Peak Potential (RPP)
SL Benfica B's Daniel Banjaqui at 18 years old has the highest Return-to-Peak Potential at +44%. That means Daniel Banjaqui is projected to appreciate 44% as they reach their peak age in 8 years—representing significant upside before entering their prime.

Risk-Adjusted Upside (RAU)
Upside potential weighted against forecast uncertainty. Higher RAU = better risk-reward profile.
Understanding Risk-Adjusted Upside (RAU)
SL Benfica B's Daniel Banjaqui has the highest Risk-Adjusted Upside at 68.9. That means Daniel Banjaqui has 23% upside potential with only 0% forecast uncertainty—representing excellent risk-reward for value appreciation.
In second is SL Benfica B's Kevin Pinto with a 58.0 RAU (19% upside, 0% uncertainty). Third is José Silva of Sporting CP B with a 46.3 RAU (15% upside, 0% uncertainty).
How RAU is calculated: RAU divides upside potential by forecast uncertainty (RAU = Upside % ÷ Uncertainty %). A RAU of 68.9 means the upside is 68.9× 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)
FC Felgueiras 1932's Filipe Cruz in the 24-26 age bracket has the highest Age-Share Concentration at +-4.5%. That means Tiago Almeida captures 28.9% of total market value while representing only 33.3% of players in their age group—showing dominant elite status.
In second is CD Feirense's Luiz Gustavo with a +-4.5% ASC (28.9% value share vs 33.3% player share in 24-26 bracket). Third is Douglas Borel of UD Oliveirense with a +-4.5% ASC (28.9% value vs 33.3% players in 24-26 bracket).
How ASC is calculated: ASC = (% of total value) - (% of total players) in age bracket. A +-4.5% ASC means the player captures -4.5% more market value than their numerical representation—indicating marquee status. ASC > +15% = elite dominance, ASC < -15% = potential value targets.
