🔥 FEATURES
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
⚡ BEST STEAL — which player is most undervalued right now, and why the market is wrong
💎 HIDDEN GEM — players the market is completely ignoring, with specific reasons (small league, low media exposure, favourable contract situation, etc.)
🔥 IMMEDIATE IMPACT — who can walk into your first team today with zero settling-in period
👑 RESALE KING — best ROI potential with estimated resale value range
🚫 OVERPRICED — who to avoid and exactly why
📊 OVS SCORE — a 7-component scoring system built from Performance, Cost Efficiency, Market Value, Age Curve, Reliability, Potential and Risk. Hover over the gauge to see exactly what drives the number.
⚖️ DEAL SCORE (0–100) — the tool's final verdict. 98/100 = No-Brainer Deal. Combines all factors into one clear decision.
🧠 HEAD SCOUT REPORT — not a data dump. Explains why the market is wrong, why now is the right time, system fit, risk assessment and a concrete recommendation with price limits.
🔍 WHY BUY / RISKS — dynamically generated for every player. Real reasons, real data — not generic text.
📉 MARKET INEFFICIENCY — shows in percent how far below fair value a player is priced. 74% below = act immediately.
💰 BUDGET & TRANSFER EFFICIENCY — Fair Value, Recommended Fee, Never Pay Above, Estimated ROI, Break-Even, Resale Potential — all in one panel.
🔄 SIMILAR PLAYERS — with comparison chips showing where they are better or worse (↑ More pace, ↓ 4x more expensive, ↑ Better passing, etc.)
📋 SCOUT REPORTS — full standalone report for any selected player
📊 COMPARE VIEW — top players side by side across all metrics, best values highlighted automatically
🌍 BILINGUAL — full DE / EN support, switch language in Settings
