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)
FC Barcelona's Lamine Yamal at 18 years old has the highest Pre-Peak Value Efficiency at 2.22×. That means Lamine Yamal is valued 2.22× higher than the median player in the U21 age bracket—representing exceptional value before reaching peak age.
In second is St. Louis CITY SC's Caden Glover, who is 25 years old, with a 1.33× PPVE. Third is Ian Glavinovich of Philadelphia Union, who is 25 years old with a 1.33× 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 2.22× means the player is worth 122% 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)
FC Barcelona's Lamine Yamal has the highest Risk-Adjusted Upside at 80.4. That means Lamine Yamal has 29% upside potential with only 0% forecast uncertainty—representing excellent risk-reward for value appreciation.
In second is FC Barcelona's Pau Cubarsí with a 70.0 RAU (24% upside, 0% uncertainty). Third is Désiré Doué of Paris Saint-Germain with a 58.7 RAU (19% upside, 0% uncertainty).
How RAU is calculated: RAU divides upside potential by forecast uncertainty (RAU = Upside % ÷ Uncertainty %). A RAU of 80.4 means the upside is 80.4× 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: player 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)
Charlotte FC's Brian Romero in the 24-26 age bracket has the highest Age-Share Concentration at +1.0%. That means Erling Haaland captures 97.3% of total market value while representing only 96.2% of players in their age group—showing dominant elite status.
In second is Oakland Roots SC's Julian Bravo with a +1.0% ASC (97.3% value share vs 96.2% player share in 24-26 bracket). Third is Gilberto Flores of FC Cincinnati with a +1.0% ASC (97.3% value vs 96.2% players in 24-26 bracket).
How ASC is calculated: ASC = (% of total value) - (% of total players) in age bracket. A +1.0% ASC means the player captures 1.0% more market value than their numerical representation—indicating marquee status. ASC > +15% = elite dominance, ASC < -15% = potential value targets.
