Why Fredrik Ljungberg ranks #335 in Football
Fredrik Ljungberg ranks 335th among Football athletes on GOAT Rank and 887th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 82.1 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 76, Peak 88, Longevity 82, Honours 84, Statistics 82. 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 1994–2012 with 19 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2001, 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 premier league titles 2, fa cup titles 3, sweden caps 75, arsenal appearances 328.
Immediately ahead sits Amandine Henry on 82.1, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Federico Chiesa on 82.1. 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.
