Scout Tools
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 Tamble at 25 years old has the highest Pre-Peak Value Efficiency at 2.25×. That means Tamble is valued 2.25× higher than the median player in the 24-26 age bracket—representing exceptional value before reaching peak age.
In second is CS Marítimo's Martim Tavares, who is 22 years old, with a 2.00× PPVE. Third is Arielson of SC União Torreense, who is 21 years old with a 1.17× 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 2.25× means the player is worth 125% more than typical players their age—making them high-value targets before they reach peak value.
PPVE by Age Bracket

Recovery potential from current value to forecasted peak. Shows how much upside remains for players approaching their prime.
Understanding Return-to-Peak Potential (RPP)

How RPP is calculated: RPP compares a player's current market value to their forecasted peak value, calculating the percentage appreciation potential. A 35% RPP means the player is expected to gain 35% value as they enter their prime—making them excellent growth investments.
Recovery Potential by Player
| Rank | Player | Age | Years to Peak | Current | Peak Forecast | RPP % |

Risk-Adjusted Upside (RAU)
Upside potential weighted against forecast uncertainty. Higher RAU = better risk-reward profile.
Understanding Risk-Adjusted Upside (RAU)
SC União Torreense's Mateusz Kowalski has the highest Risk-Adjusted Upside at 46.3. That means Mateusz Kowalski has 15% upside potential with only 0% forecast uncertainty—representing excellent risk-reward for value appreciation.
In second is SC União Torreense's Arielson with a 33.7 RAU (10% upside, 0% uncertainty). Third is Dieu-Merci Michel of UD Leiria with a 33.7 RAU (10% upside, 0% uncertainty).
How RAU is calculated: RAU divides upside potential by forecast uncertainty (RAU = Upside % ÷ Uncertainty %). A RAU of 46.3 means the upside is 46.3× greater than the uncertainty—making it a high-confidence growth opportunity. Target RAU ≥2.0 for balanced risk-reward.
Risk-Adjusted Upside by Player

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: striker 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)
UD Leiria's Pablo Fernández in the 27-29 age bracket has the highest Age-Share Concentration at +11.2%. That means André Clóvis captures 44.5% of total market value while representing only 33.3% of players in their age group—showing dominant elite status.

How ASC is calculated: ASC = (% of total value) - (% of total players) in age bracket. A +11.2% ASC means the player captures 11.2% more market value than their numerical representation—indicating marquee status. ASC > +15% = elite dominance, ASC < -15% = potential value targets.
