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)
Charlotte FC's Liel Abada at 24 years old has the highest Pre-Peak Value Efficiency at 2.80×. That means Liel Abada is valued 2.80× higher than the median player in the 24-26 age bracket—representing exceptional value before reaching peak age.
In second is Orlando City SC's Marco Pašalić, who is 25 years old, with a 2.40× PPVE. Third is Mateo Silvetti of Inter Miami CF, who is 19 years old with a 1.00× 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 2.80× means the player is worth 180% more than typical players their age—making them high-value targets before they reach peak value.
PPVE by Age Bracket

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)

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.
Recovery Potential by Player
| Rank | Player | Age | Years to Peak | Current | Peak Forecast | RPP % |

Risk-Adjusted Upside (RAU)
Upside potential weighted against forecast uncertainty. Higher RAU = better risk-reward profile.
Understanding Risk-Adjusted Upside (RAU)
CF Montréal's Gennadiy Synchuk has the highest Risk-Adjusted Upside at 58.0. That means Gennadiy Synchuk has 19% 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 58.0 RAU (19% upside, 0% uncertainty). Third is Ender Echenique of FC Cincinnati 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 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.
Risk-Adjusted Upside by Player

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 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)
Chicago Fire FC's Philip Zinckernagel in the 30+ age bracket has the highest Age-Share Concentration at +14.4%. That means Lionel Messi captures 36.1% of total market value while representing only 21.7% of players in their age group—showing dominant elite status.

How ASC is calculated: ASC = (% of total value) - (% of total players) in age bracket. A +14.4% ASC means the player captures 14.4% more market value than their numerical representation—indicating marquee status. ASC > +15% = elite dominance, ASC < -15% = potential value targets.
