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)

Brighton & Hove Albion's Bart Verbruggen at 23 years old has the highest Pre-Peak Value Efficiency at 3.33×. That means Bart Verbruggen is valued 3.33× higher than the median player in the 21-23 age bracket—representing exceptional value before reaching peak age.

In second is Manchester City's James Trafford, who is 23 years old, with a 2.44× PPVE. Third is Giorgi Mamardashvili of Liverpool FC, who is 25 years old with a 2.00× 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 3.33× means the player is worth 233% 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.

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)

AFC Bournemouth's Callan McKenna has the highest Risk-Adjusted Upside at 196.1. That means Callan McKenna has 56% upside potential with only 0% forecast uncertainty—representing excellent risk-reward for value appreciation.

In second is Tottenham Hotspur's Antonín Kinský with a 166.3 RAU (36% upside, 0% uncertainty). Third is Robin Roefs of Sunderland AFC with a 166.3 RAU (36% upside, 0% uncertainty).

How RAU is calculated: RAU divides upside potential by forecast uncertainty (RAU = Upside % ÷ Uncertainty %). A RAU of 196.1 means the upside is 196.1× 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.
