Why Crystal Dunn ranks #86 in Football
Crystal Dunn ranks 86th among Football athletes on GOAT Rank and 145th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 87.5 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 85, Peak 91, Longevity 84, Honours 90, 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 2013–present with 14 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2021, which sets the Peak component at 91. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 91 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes world cup titles 1, olympic gold medals 1, nwsl mvp awards 1, nwsl golden boot awards 1.
Immediately ahead sits Bettina Wiegmann on 87.5, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Martina Voss-Tecklenburg on 87.5. 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.
