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)
Arsenal FC's Jurriën Timber at 24 years old has the highest Pre-Peak Value Efficiency at 3.67×. That means Jurriën Timber is valued 3.67× higher than the median player in the 24-26 age bracket—representing exceptional value before reaching peak age.
In second is Liverpool FC's Jeremie Frimpong, who is 25 years old, with a 3.33× PPVE. Third is Tino Livramento of Newcastle United, who is 23 years old with a 3.33× 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 3.67× means the player is worth 267% 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)
Tottenham Hotspur's Archie Gray has the highest Risk-Adjusted Upside at 70.0. That means Archie Gray has 24% upside potential with only 0% forecast uncertainty—representing excellent risk-reward for value appreciation.
In second is Chelsea FC's Josh Acheampong with a 58.0 RAU (19% upside, 0% uncertainty). Third is Caleb Kporha of Crystal Palace with a 58.0 RAU (19% upside, 0% uncertainty).

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 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)
Brighton & Hove Albion's Joël Veltman in the 30+ age bracket has the highest Age-Share Concentration at +-18.7%. That means Kenny Tete captures 5.9% of total market value while representing only 24.5% of players in their age group—showing dominant elite status.
In second is Wolverhampton Wanderers's Matt Doherty with a +-18.7% ASC (5.9% value share vs 24.5% player share in 30+ bracket). Third is Emil Krafth of Newcastle United with a +-18.7% ASC (5.9% value vs 24.5% players in 30+ bracket).
How ASC is calculated: ASC = (% of total value) - (% of total players) in age bracket. A +-18.7% ASC means the player captures -18.7% more market value than their numerical representation—indicating marquee status. ASC > +15% = elite dominance, ASC < -15% = potential value targets.
