Why Davor Šuker ranks #179 in Football
Davor Šuker ranks 179th among Football athletes on GOAT Rank and 776th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 79.8 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 78, Peak 88, Longevity 74, Honours 78, Statistics 82. 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 1989–2003 with 15 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1992, which sets the Peak component at 88. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 88 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes world cup golden boot 1, croatia goals 45, croatia caps 69, champions league titles 1.
Immediately ahead sits Stina Blackstenius on 79.9, a gap of 0.1 points. Directly behind is Joaquín Sánchez on 79.7. 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.
