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 24 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 21 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
| Rank | Player | Age | Bracket | Current Value | Bracket Median | PPVE |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| #1 | Tamble Portimonense SAD | 24 | 24-26 | €450K | €200K | 2.25× |
| #2 | Martim Tavares CS Marítimo | 21 | 21-23 | €600K | €300K | 2.00× |
| #3 | Arielson SC União Torreense | 21 | 21-23 | €350K | €300K | 1.17× |

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)
SC União Torreense's Mateusz Kowalski has the highest Risk-Adjusted Upside at 86.2. That means Mateusz Kowalski has 31% upside potential with only 0% forecast uncertainty—representing excellent risk-reward for value appreciation.
In second is SC União Torreense's Arielson with a 75.2 RAU (26% upside, 0% uncertainty). Third is Dieu-Merci Michel of UD Leiria with a 75.2 RAU (26% upside, 0% uncertainty).
How RAU is calculated: RAU divides upside potential by forecast uncertainty (RAU = Upside % ÷ Uncertainty %). A RAU of 86.2 means the upside is 86.2× greater than the uncertainty—making it a high-confidence growth opportunity. Target RAU ≥2.0 for balanced risk-reward.
Risk-Adjusted Upside by Player
| Rank | Player | Expected | Range | Upside % | RAU |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| #1 | Mateusz Kowalski SC União Torreense | €394K | €339K-448K | +31% | 86.2 |

| #4 | Martim Tavares CS Marítimo | €757K | €653K-862K | +26% | 75.2 |
| #5 | Bica Leixões SC | €363K | €320K-407K | +21% | 72.7 |

| #9 | Manu Garrido FC Vizela | €212K | €187K-237K | +6% | 23.5 |
| #10 | Adrián Butzke CS Marítimo | €309K | €272K-346K | +3% | 12.0 |
| #11 | Yassin Fortuné FC Vizela | €257K | €227K-288K | +3% | 12.0 |
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 Juan Muñoz in the 27-29 age bracket has the highest Age-Share Concentration at +12.9%. That means André Clóvis captures 51.0% of total market value while representing only 38.1% of players in their age group—showing dominant elite status.
In second is UD Leiria's Pablo Fernández with a +12.9% ASC (51.0% value share vs 38.1% player share in 27-29 bracket). Third is Yann Kitala of FC Vizela with a +12.9% ASC (51.0% value vs 38.1% players in 27-29 bracket).
How ASC is calculated: ASC = (% of total value) - (% of total players) in age bracket. A +12.9% ASC means the player captures 12.9% more market value than their numerical representation—indicating marquee status. ASC > +15% = elite dominance, ASC < -15% = potential value targets.
