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)
Fenerbahce's Jhon Durán at 22 years old has the highest Pre-Peak Value Efficiency at 23.33×. That means Jhon Durán is valued 23.33× higher than the median player in the 21-23 age bracket—representing exceptional value before reaching peak age.
In second is Fenerbahce's Dorgeles Nene, who is 23 years old, with a 11.33× PPVE. Third is Archie Brown of Fenerbahce, who is 23 years old with a 6.67× 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 23.33× means the player is worth 2233% more than typical players their age—making them high-value targets before they reach peak value.

Understanding Return-to-Peak Potential (RPP)
Antalyaspor's Kağan Arıcan at 20 years old has the highest Return-to-Peak Potential at +48%. That means Onuralp Çevikkan is projected to appreciate 48% as they reach their peak age in 6 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)
Antalyaspor's Kağan Arıcan has the highest Risk-Adjusted Upside at 118.5. That means Onuralp Çevikkan has 28% upside potential with only 0% forecast uncertainty—representing excellent risk-reward for value appreciation.
In second is Trabzonspor's Onuralp Çevikkan with a 118.5 RAU (28% upside, 0% uncertainty). Third is Jankat Yılmaz of Eyüpspor with a 103.3 RAU (23% upside, 0% uncertainty).
How RAU is calculated: RAU divides upside potential by forecast uncertainty (RAU = Upside % ÷ Uncertainty %). A RAU of 118.5 means the upside is 118.5× 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: young player 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)
Samsunspor's Bedirhan Çetin in the U21 age bracket has the highest Age-Share Concentration at +-8.3%. That means Mustafa Hekimoğlu captures 6.6% of total market value while representing only 14.9% of players in their age group—showing dominant elite status.
In second is Antalyaspor's Kağan Arıcan with a +-8.3% ASC (6.6% value share vs 14.9% player share in U21 bracket). Third is Arda Ünyay of Galatasaray with a +-8.3% ASC (6.6% value vs 14.9% players in U21 bracket).
How ASC is calculated: ASC = (% of total value) - (% of total players) in age bracket. A +-8.3% ASC means the player captures -8.3% more market value than their numerical representation—indicating marquee status. ASC > +15% = elite dominance, ASC < -15% = potential value targets.
Value Concentration by Player
