Why Fabinho ranks #166 in Football
Fabinho ranks 166th among Football athletes on GOAT Rank and 325th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 85.5 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 82, Peak 90, Longevity 84, Honours 88, Statistics 84. 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 2012–present with 15 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2020, which sets the Peak component at 90. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 90 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes champions league titles 1, premier league titles 1, club world cup titles 1, brazil caps 30.
Immediately ahead sits Marco Materazzi on 85.5, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Viktor Gyökeres on 85.5. 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.
