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)

Portland Timbers's Antony at 24 years old has the highest Pre-Peak Value Efficiency at 5.00×. That means Antony is valued 5.00× higher than the median player in the 24-26 age bracket—representing exceptional value before reaching peak age.

In second is New York City FC's Talles Magno, who is 23 years old, with a 4.50× PPVE. Third is Max Arfsten of Columbus Crew, who is 25 years old with a 4.50× 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 5.00× means the player is worth 400% more than typical players their age—making them high-value targets before they reach peak value.

Risk-Adjusted Upside (RAU)

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

Understanding Risk-Adjusted Upside (RAU)

Charlotte FC's Nimfasha Berchimas has the highest Risk-Adjusted Upside at 68.9. That means Nimfasha Berchimas has 23% upside potential with only 0% forecast uncertainty—representing excellent risk-reward for value appreciation.

In second is Inter Miami CF's Mateo Silvetti with a 46.3 RAU (15% upside, 0% uncertainty). Third is Tiago of Orlando City SC 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 68.9 means the upside is 68.9× 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: left winger 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)

New York Red Bulls's Emil Forsberg in the 30+ age bracket has the highest Age-Share Concentration at +19.6%. That means Heung-min Son captures 46.1% of total market value while representing only 26.5% of players in their age group—showing dominant elite status.

In second is Charlotte FC's Wilfried Zaha with a +19.6% ASC (46.1% value share vs 26.5% player share in 30+ bracket). Third is Tyler Boyd of Los Angeles FC with a +19.6% ASC (46.1% value vs 26.5% players in 30+ bracket).

How ASC is calculated: ASC = (% of total value) - (% of total players) in age bracket. A +19.6% ASC means the player captures 19.6% more market value than their numerical representation—indicating marquee status. ASC > +15% = elite dominance, ASC < -15% = potential value targets.
