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)

Liverpool FC's Giorgi Mamardashvili at 25 years old has the highest Pre-Peak Value Efficiency at 12.00×. That means Giorgi Mamardashvili is valued 12.00× higher than the median player in the 24-26 age bracket—representing exceptional value before reaching peak age.

In second is Leeds United's Illan Meslier, who is 25 years old, with a 6.40× PPVE. Third is Mads Hermansen of West Ham United, who is 25 years old with a 6.00× 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 12.00× means the player is worth 1100% 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)

AFC Bournemouth's Callan McKenna at 18 years old has the highest Return-to-Peak Potential at +55%. That means Callan McKenna is projected to appreciate 55% as they reach their peak age in 8 years—representing significant upside before entering their prime.

Risk-Adjusted Upside (RAU)

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

Understanding Risk-Adjusted Upside (RAU)

AFC Bournemouth's Callan McKenna has the highest Risk-Adjusted Upside at 166.9. That means Callan McKenna has 44% upside potential with only 0% forecast uncertainty—representing excellent risk-reward for value appreciation.

In second is Chelsea FC's Gabriel Slonina with a 103.3 RAU (23% upside, 0% uncertainty). Third is Robin Roefs of Sunderland AFC with a 100.1 RAU (19% upside, 0% uncertainty).

How RAU is calculated: RAU divides upside potential by forecast uncertainty (RAU = Upside % ÷ Uncertainty %). A RAU of 166.9 means the upside is 166.9× 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: goalkeeper 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)

Liverpool FC's Alisson in the 30+ age bracket has the highest Age-Share Concentration at +-14.7%. That means David Raya captures 32.9% of total market value while representing only 47.6% of players in their age group—showing dominant elite status.

In second is Wolverhampton Wanderers's Sam Johnstone with a +-14.7% ASC (32.9% value share vs 47.6% player share in 30+ bracket). Third is Emiliano Martínez of Aston Villa with a +-14.7% ASC (32.9% value vs 47.6% players in 30+ bracket).

How ASC is calculated: ASC = (% of total value) - (% of total players) in age bracket. A +-14.7% ASC means the player captures -14.7% more market value than their numerical representation—indicating marquee status. ASC > +15% = elite dominance, ASC < -15% = potential value targets.
