Why Andrei Arshavin ranks #196 in Football

Andrei Arshavin ranks 196th among Football athletes on GOAT Rank and 993rd of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 77.6 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 76, Peak 86, Longevity 76, Honours 74, 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 2000–2018 with 18 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2006, which sets the Peak component at 86. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 86 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes uefa cup titles 1, uefa super cup titles 1, russian premier league titles 2, russia caps 75.

Immediately ahead sits Nuno Gomes on 77.8, a gap of 0.2 points. Directly behind is Naomi Girma on 77.6. 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.
