Why Aleksandr Mostovoi ranks #202 in Football

Aleksandr Mostovoi ranks 202nd among Football athletes on GOAT Rank and 1171st of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 76.3 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 74, Peak 80, Longevity 80, Honours 72, Statistics 76. Those categories are normalised against the full Football reference universe of 909 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.

The record covers 1986–2005 with 19 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1996, which sets the Peak component at 80. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 80 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes russian footballer of the year awards 1, soviet top league titles 2, russia caps 50, la liga appearances 238.

Immediately ahead sits Tomáš Rosický on 76.4, a gap of 0.1 points. Directly behind is Salma Paralluelo on 72.3. The position moves whenever the verified record moves: new titles, new seasons or a corrected source all feed straight back into the same formula, and every change is dated on this profile.
