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)
SSC Napoli's Miguel Gutiérrez at 24 years old has the highest Pre-Peak Value Efficiency at 4.00×. That means Miguel Gutiérrez is valued 4.00× higher than the median player in the 24-26 age bracket—representing exceptional value before reaching peak age.
In second is SS Lazio's Nuno Tavares, who is 25 years old, with a 4.00× PPVE. Third is Juan Miranda of Bologna FC 1909, who is 25 years old with a 3.00× 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 4.00× means the player is worth 300% 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)
ACF Fiorentina's Niccolò Fortini at 19 years old has the highest Return-to-Peak Potential at +40%. That means Niccolò Fortini is projected to appreciate 40% as they reach their peak age in 7 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)
ACF Fiorentina's Niccolò Fortini has the highest Risk-Adjusted Upside at 58.0. That means Niccolò Fortini has 19% upside potential with only 0% forecast uncertainty—representing excellent risk-reward for value appreciation.
In second is AC Milan's Davide Bartesaghi with a 58.0 RAU (19% upside, 0% uncertainty). Third is Álex Valle of Como 1907 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.

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: left-back 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)
Inter Milan's Federico Dimarco in the 27-29 age bracket has the highest Age-Share Concentration at +19.5%. That means Federico Dimarco captures 46.6% of total market value while representing only 27.0% of players in their age group—showing dominant elite status.
In second is Genoa CFC's Aarón Martín with a +19.5% ASC (46.6% value share vs 27.0% player share in 27-29 bracket). Third is Angeliño of AS Roma with a +19.5% ASC (46.6% value vs 27.0% players in 27-29 bracket).
How ASC is calculated: ASC = (% of total value) - (% of total players) in age bracket. A +19.5% ASC means the player captures 19.5% more market value than their numerical representation—indicating marquee status. ASC > +15% = elite dominance, ASC < -15% = potential value targets.
