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)
FC Copenhagen's Marcos López at 25 years old has the highest Pre-Peak Value Efficiency at 3.13×. That means Marcos López is valued 3.13× higher than the median player in the 24-26 age bracket—representing exceptional value before reaching peak age.
In second is FC Nordsjaelland's Juho Lähteenmäki, who is 19 years old, with a 2.22× PPVE. Third is Nikolas Dyhr of Randers FC, who is 24 years old with a 1.88× 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 3.13× means the player is worth 213% more than typical players their age—making them high-value targets before they reach peak value.
PPVE by Age Bracket

| #1 | Marcos López FC Copenhagen | 25 | 24-26 | €2.5M | €800K | 3.13× |

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)
FC Nordsjaelland's Juho Lähteenmäki has the highest Risk-Adjusted Upside at 96.4. That means Juho Lähteenmäki has 36% upside potential with only 0% forecast uncertainty—representing excellent risk-reward for value appreciation.
In second is Odense Boldklub's Marcus McCoy with a 86.2 RAU (31% upside, 0% uncertainty). Third is Daníel Freyr Kristjánsson of FC Fredericia with a 86.2 RAU (31% upside, 0% uncertainty).
How RAU is calculated: RAU divides upside potential by forecast uncertainty (RAU = Upside % ÷ Uncertainty %). A RAU of 96.4 means the upside is 96.4× greater than the uncertainty—making it a high-confidence growth opportunity. Target RAU ≥2.0 for balanced risk-reward.
Risk-Adjusted Upside by Player
| Rank | Player | Expected | Range | Upside % | RAU |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| #1 | Juho Lähteenmäki FC Nordsjaelland | €1.4M | €1.2M-1.6M | +36% | 96.4 |
| #2 | Marcus McCoy Odense Boldklub | €262K | €226K-299K | +31% | 86.2 |

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 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)
Randers FC's Elias Andersson in the 27-29 age bracket has the highest Age-Share Concentration at +5.7%. That means Mats Köhlert captures 18.8% of total market value while representing only 13.0% of players in their age group—showing dominant elite status.
In second is Bröndby IF's Mats Köhlert with a +5.7% ASC (18.8% value share vs 13.0% player share in 27-29 bracket). Third is Itsuki Urata of Bunyodkor Tashkent with a +5.7% ASC (18.8% value vs 13.0% players in 27-29 bracket).
How ASC is calculated: ASC = (% of total value) - (% of total players) in age bracket. A +5.7% ASC means the player captures 5.7% more market value than their numerical representation—indicating marquee status. ASC > +15% = elite dominance, ASC < -15% = potential value targets.
