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)

Silkeborg IF's Rami Al Hajj at 24 years old has the highest Pre-Peak Value Efficiency at 1.00×. That means Rami Al Hajj is valued 1.00× higher than the median player in the 24-26 age bracket—representing exceptional value before reaching peak age.

In second is Sogdiana Jizzakh's Jasurbek Jaloliddinov, who is 23 years old, with a 1.00× PPVE. Third is Kristall Máni Ingason of Sönderjyske Fodbold, who is 23 years old with a 0.92× 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 1.00× means the player is worth 0% 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)

Sogdiana Jizzakh's Jasurbek Jaloliddinov has the highest Risk-Adjusted Upside at 46.2. That means Jasurbek Jaloliddinov has 16% upside potential with only 0% forecast uncertainty—representing excellent risk-reward for value appreciation.

In second is Sönderjyske Fodbold's Kristall Máni Ingason with a 46.2 RAU (16% upside, 0% uncertainty). Third is Rami Al Hajj of Silkeborg IF with a 33.1 RAU (11% upside, 0% uncertainty).

How RAU is calculated: RAU divides upside potential by forecast uncertainty (RAU = Upside % ÷ Uncertainty %). A RAU of 46.2 means the upside is 46.2× 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: attacking midfielder 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)

Dinamo Samarqand's Dmitriy Pletnev in the 27-29 age bracket has the highest Age-Share Concentration at +26.9%. That means Nicolai Vallys captures 49.1% of total market value while representing only 22.2% of players in their age group—showing dominant elite status.

In second is Bröndby IF's Nicolai Vallys with a +26.9% ASC (49.1% value share vs 22.2% player share in 27-29 bracket). Third is Kristall Máni Ingason of Sönderjyske Fodbold with a +-11.6% ASC (10.6% value vs 22.2% players in 21-23 bracket).

How ASC is calculated: ASC = (% of total value) - (% of total players) in age bracket. A +26.9% ASC means the player captures 26.9% more market value than their numerical representation—indicating marquee status. ASC > +15% = elite dominance, ASC < -15% = potential value targets.

How We Rank Superliga Attacking Midfielders

Our Analytical Strength Score is calibrated specifically for attacking midfielders, using position-specific age curves and playing time benchmarks. The model draws from academic research on player valuation (Franck & Nüesch, 2012) and age-performance curves (Dendir, 2016).

Scoring Components for CAM

Historical Achievement Index (35%)

Peak career market value for Superliga attacking midfielders, reflecting proven track record and reputation. Uses log-scale to account for exponential value distribution at elite level.

Current Performance Proxy (30%)

Present market value for Superliga attacking midfielders, capturing recent form, injuries, and current performance level. Weighted to reflect age-related depreciation patterns.

Playing Time Utilization (18%)

Midfielders with 2,400+ minutes score highest, indicating regular starting role and sustained performance.

Age-Adjusted Performance Curve (12%)

Midfielders peak at 26-27 with 6.0%/year decline. Pre-peak players score higher on development trajectory.

Competition Level Adjustment (3%)

Superliga competition level factored into comparative strength assessment.

Performance Expectations Multiplier (2%)

Players at clubs with Champions League pedigree face higher performance standards and tactical complexity, contributing to development and market validation.

CAM Performance Benchmarks

Peak Age: 26-27 years (technical skill and tactical awareness)

Decline Rate: 6.0% per year (technical skills age better than physical attributes)

Optimal Minutes: 2,400-2,500 per season (balance of involvement and recovery)

1-Year Market Value Forecast

The second most valuable is Younes Bakiz (€1.7M, Silkeborg IF), followed by Callum McCowatt (€1.2M, Silkeborg IF). Our database tracks 9 Superliga Attacking Midfielders with comprehensive market valuations updated for the 2025-26 season.

How are Superliga Attacking Midfielders ranked?

Superliga Attacking Midfielders are ranked by our proprietary Analytical Strength Score, which is specifically calibrated for Attacking Midfielders. The score combines six factors: Historical Achievement Index (35%) measuring peak career value, Current Performance Proxy (30%) reflecting recent market signals, Playing Time Utilization (18%) tracking minutes played, Age-Adjusted Performance Curve (12%) using position-specific peak ages, League Quality Coefficient (3%) for Superliga competition level, and Club Tier Multiplier (2%) accounting for club prestige. This methodology is grounded in academic research including work by Dendir (2016) on age-performance curves and Franck & Nüesch (2012) on hedonic pricing models.

What age do Attacking Midfielders peak?

Attacking midfielders typically peak at age 26, with a decline rate of 6.5% per year after peak. This position demands high technical ability, creativity, and burst acceleration, which tend to decline faster than other midfielder attributes. The optimal playing time is around 2,400 minutes per season.

How much does it cost to sign a top attacking midfielder from the Superliga?

Transfer fees for Superliga Attacking Midfielders vary significantly based on market value, contract length, and club bargaining position. For the top-ranked attacking midfielder Nicolai Vallys (market value: €5.0M), estimated transfer fees would range from €4.0M to €7.0M depending on contract situation. Players with longer contracts (3+ years) command premium fees (1.2-1.4× market value), while those in the final year may be available for 0.8-1.1× market value. Our fee estimates are derived from historical transfer patterns and contract-clock modifiers validated against actual Superliga transactions.

What is the value forecast for Superliga Attacking Midfielders?

Our 1-year forecast model projects market value changes for Superliga Attacking Midfielders based on age-curve depreciation, historical trajectory, and playing time adjustments. The forecast combines three factors: age-based appreciation/depreciation (pre-peak players gain ~5% per year toward peak age, post-peak players decline at position-specific rates), market trajectory momentum (comparing current to peak value), and playing time confidence (regular starters receive +2% boost). Forecast confidence intervals account for position-specific volatility—midfielders have ±12-15% volatility. Young players (under 22) and older players (over 32) receive 1.15× uncertainty multipliers due to unpredictable development or decline patterns.

Where does the Superliga attacking midfielder data come from?

Our Superliga attacking midfielder data is sourced from Transfermarkt's comprehensive football database, which aggregates market valuations, player statistics, contract information, and transfer histories. Market values are updated regularly by Transfermarkt's community of scouts and analysts who track player performance, injuries, contract negotiations, and transfer market activity.
