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)
AS Roma's Wesley at 22 years old has the highest Pre-Peak Value Efficiency at 7.81×. That means Wesley is valued 7.81× higher than the median player in the 21-23 age bracket—representing exceptional value before reaching peak age.
In second is AS Roma's Devyne Rensch, who is 22 years old, with a 3.13× PPVE. Third is Brooke Norton-Cuffy of Genoa CFC, who is 21 years old with a 3.13× 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 7.81× means the player is worth 681% 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)
AS Roma's Buba Sangaré has the highest Risk-Adjusted Upside at 105.9. That means Buba Sangaré has 41% upside potential with only 0% forecast uncertainty—representing excellent risk-reward for value appreciation.
In second is Cagliari Calcio's Marco Palestra with a 86.2 RAU (31% upside, 0% uncertainty). Third is Ali Dembélé of Torino FC with a 75.2 RAU (26% upside, 0% uncertainty).
How RAU is calculated: RAU divides upside potential by forecast uncertainty (RAU = Upside % ÷ Uncertainty %). A RAU of 105.9 means the upside is 105.9× greater than the uncertainty—making it a high-confidence growth opportunity. Target RAU ≥2.0 for balanced risk-reward.
Risk-Adjusted Upside by Player

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| #1 | Buba Sangaré AS Roma | €1.4M | €1.2M-1.6M | +41% | 105.9 |

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 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)
AC Milan's Alessandro Florenzi in the 30+ age bracket has the highest Age-Share Concentration at +-15.6%. That means Giovanni Di Lorenzo captures 14.6% of total market value while representing only 30.2% of players in their age group—showing dominant elite status.
In second is Genoa CFC's Stefano Sabelli with a +-15.6% ASC (14.6% value share vs 30.2% player share in 30+ bracket). Third is Giovanni Di Lorenzo of SSC Napoli with a +-15.6% ASC (14.6% value vs 30.2% players in 30+ bracket).
How ASC is calculated: ASC = (% of total value) - (% of total players) in age bracket. A +-15.6% ASC means the player captures -15.6% more market value than their numerical representation—indicating marquee status. ASC > +15% = elite dominance, ASC < -15% = potential value targets.
