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's Rodrigo Mora at 18 years old has the highest Pre-Peak Value Efficiency at 13.33×. That means Rodrigo Mora is valued 13.33× higher than the median player in the U21 age bracket—representing exceptional value before reaching peak age.
In second is SL Benfica's Georgiy Sudakov, who is 23 years old, with a 12.80× PPVE. Third is Alan of Moreirense FC, who is 25 years old with a 8.00× 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 13.33× means the player is worth 1233% 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's Rodrigo Mora has the highest Risk-Adjusted Upside at 92.8. That means Rodrigo Mora has 47% upside potential with only 1% forecast uncertainty—representing excellent risk-reward for value appreciation.
In second is FC Famalicão's Gustavo Sá with a 77.6 RAU (37% upside, 0% uncertainty). Third is Amorim of FC Alverca with a 69.0 RAU (31% upside, 0% uncertainty).
How RAU is calculated: RAU divides upside potential by forecast uncertainty (RAU = Upside % ÷ Uncertainty %). A RAU of 92.8 means the upside is 92.8× 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: attacking midfielder 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 Alverca's Lincoln in the 24-26 age bracket has the highest Age-Share Concentration at +-24.9%. That means Alan captures 9.7% of total market value while representing only 34.6% of players in their age group—showing dominant elite status.
In second is CD Nacional's Filipe Soares with a +-24.9% ASC (9.7% value share vs 34.6% player share in 24-26 bracket). Third is Ole Pohlmann of Rio Ave FC with a +-24.9% ASC (9.7% value vs 34.6% players in 24-26 bracket).
How ASC is calculated: ASC = (% of total value) - (% of total players) in age bracket. A +-24.9% ASC means the player captures -24.9% more market value than their numerical representation—indicating marquee status. ASC > +15% = elite dominance, ASC < -15% = potential value targets.
