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)
AS Monaco's Vanderson at 24 years old has the highest Pre-Peak Value Efficiency at 11.11×. That means Vanderson is valued 11.11× higher than the median player in the 24-26 age bracket—representing exceptional value before reaching peak age.
In second is RC Strasbourg Alsace's Guéla Doué, who is 23 years old, with a 1.20× PPVE. Third is Warren Kamanzi of FC Toulouse, who is 24 years old with a 1.11× 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 11.11× means the player is worth 1011% 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 | Vanderson AS Monaco | 24 | 24-26 | €20.0M | €1.8M | 11.11× |
| #2 | Guéla Doué RC Strasbourg Alsace | 23 | 21-23 | €18.0M | €15.0M | 1.20× |
| #3 | Warren Kamanzi FC Toulouse | 24 | 24-26 | €2.0M | €1.8M | 1.11× |
| #4 | Luck Zogbé Stade Brestois 29 | 20 | U21 | €2.5M | €2.5M | 1.00× |
| #5 | Tiago Santos LOSC Lille | 23 | 21-23 | €15.0M | €15.0M | 1.00× |
| #6 | Marvin Senaya AJ Auxerre | 24 | 24-26 | €1.8M | €1.8M | 1.00× |
| #7 | Lilian Raolisoa Angers SCO | 25 | 24-26 | €800K | €1.8M | 0.44× |
| #8 | Fodé Doucouré Le Havre AC | 24 | 24-26 | €700K | €1.8M | 0.39× |
| #9 | Antoine Mendy OGC Nice | 21 | 21-23 | €2.5M | €15.0M | 0.17× |
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)
Stade Brestois 29's Luck Zogbé has the highest Risk-Adjusted Upside at 86.2. That means Luck Zogbé has 31% upside potential with only 0% forecast uncertainty—representing excellent risk-reward for value appreciation.
In second is OGC Nice's Antoine Mendy with a 75.2 RAU (26% upside, 0% uncertainty). Third is Guéla Doué of RC Strasbourg Alsace with a 57.7 RAU (16% 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 | Luck Zogbé Stade Brestois 29 | €3.3M | €2.8M-3.7M | +31% | 86.2 |
| #2 | Antoine Mendy OGC Nice | €3.2M | €2.7M-3.6M | +26% | 75.2 |
| #3 | Guéla Doué RC Strasbourg Alsace | €20.9M | €18.4M-23.4M | +16% | 57.7 |
| #4 | Tiago Santos LOSC Lille | €17.4M | €15.3M-19.5M | +16% | 57.7 |

| #13 | Saud Abdulhamid RC Lens | €3.1M | €2.7M-3.5M | +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: 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)
AS Monaco's Jordan Teze in the 24-26 age bracket has the highest Age-Share Concentration at +26.0%. That means Achraf Hakimi captures 54.2% of total market value while representing only 28.1% of players in their age group—showing dominant elite status.
In second is Paris Saint-Germain's Achraf Hakimi with a +26.0% ASC (54.2% value share vs 28.1% player share in 24-26 bracket). Third is Halid Sabanovic of Without Club with a +26.0% ASC (54.2% value vs 28.1% players in 24-26 bracket).
How ASC is calculated: ASC = (% of total value) - (% of total players) in age bracket. A +26.0% ASC means the player captures 26.0% more market value than their numerical representation—indicating marquee status. ASC > +15% = elite dominance, ASC < -15% = potential value targets.
