Why Formiga ranks #67 in Football

Formiga ranks 67th among Football athletes on GOAT Rank and 108th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 88.2 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 80, Peak 88, Longevity 99, 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 1993–2022 with 30 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2007, which sets the Peak component at 88. Longevity is the defining strength of the profile at 99 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes world cups contested 7, olympic games contested 7, olympic silver medals 2, copa américa titles 6.

Immediately ahead sits David Villa on 88.2, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Pia Sundhage on 88.2. 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.
