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)

Paris Saint-Germain's Willian Pacho at 24 years old has the highest Pre-Peak Value Efficiency at 13.00×. That means Willian Pacho is valued 13.00× higher than the median player in the 24-26 age bracket—representing exceptional value before reaching peak age.

In second is Paris Saint-Germain's Ilya Zabarnyi, who is 23 years old, with a 5.25× PPVE. Third is Mamadou Sarr of RC Strasbourg Alsace, who is 20 years old with a 5.00× 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 13.00× means the player is worth 1200% 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.

Understanding Return-to-Peak Potential (RPP)

RC Strasbourg Alsace's Lucas Høgsberg at 19 years old has the highest Return-to-Peak Potential at +40%. That means Lucas Høgsberg is projected to appreciate 40% as they reach their peak age in 7 years—representing significant upside before entering their prime.

In second is OGC Nice's Juma Bah, who is 19 years old, with a +40% RPP (7 years to peak). Third is Nidal Celik of RC Lens, who is 19 years old with a +40% RPP (7 years to peak).

How RPP is calculated: RPP compares a player's current market value to their forecasted peak value, calculating the percentage appreciation potential. A 40% RPP means the player is expected to gain 40% value as they enter their prime—making them excellent growth investments.

Risk-Adjusted Upside (RAU)

Upside potential weighted against forecast uncertainty. Higher RAU = better risk-reward profile.

Understanding Risk-Adjusted Upside (RAU)

OGC Nice's Juma Bah has the highest Risk-Adjusted Upside at 58.0. That means Juma Bah has 19% upside potential with only 0% forecast uncertainty—representing excellent risk-reward for value appreciation.

In second is RC Strasbourg Alsace's Lucas Høgsberg with a 58.0 RAU (19% upside, 0% uncertainty). Third is Nidal Celik of RC Lens with a 58.0 RAU (19% upside, 0% uncertainty).

How RAU is calculated: RAU divides upside potential by forecast uncertainty (RAU = Upside % ÷ Uncertainty %). A RAU of 58.0 means the upside is 58.0× 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: centre-back position shows strong 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)

NK Kustosija Zagreb's Nikola Maksimović in the 30+ age bracket has the highest Age-Share Concentration at +-9.8%. That means Marquinhos captures 10.5% of total market value while representing only 20.3% of players in their age group—showing dominant elite status.

In second is LOSC Lille's Samuel Umtiti with a +-9.8% ASC (10.5% value share vs 20.3% player share in 30+ bracket). Third is Jonathan Gradit of RC Lens with a +-9.8% ASC (10.5% value vs 20.3% players in 30+ bracket).

How ASC is calculated: ASC = (% of total value) - (% of total players) in age bracket. A +-9.8% ASC means the player captures -9.8% more market value than their numerical representation—indicating marquee status. ASC > +15% = elite dominance, ASC < -15% = potential value targets.
