Why Beth Mead ranks #107 in Football
Beth Mead ranks 107th among Football athletes on GOAT Rank and 190th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 86.9 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 86, Peak 93, Longevity 80, Honours 88, Statistics 88. Those categories are normalised against the full Football reference universe of 895 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.
The record covers 2011–present with 16 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2018, which sets the Peak component at 93. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 93 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes european championship titles 1, euro golden boot awards 1, euro player of the tournament awards 1, wsl titles 1.
Immediately ahead sits Christen Press on 87.0, a gap of 0.1 points. Directly behind is Heather O'Reilly on 86.9. 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.
