Why Júlio César ranks #111 in Football
Júlio César ranks 111th among Football athletes on GOAT Rank and 399th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 83.1 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 80, Peak 88, Longevity 84, Honours 82, 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 1997–2018 with 21 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2008, 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 champions league titles 1, serie a titles 4, confederations cup titles 2, brazil caps 87.
Immediately ahead sits Caroline Graham Hansen on 83.1, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Javier Zanetti on 83.0. 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.
