Why Malin Andersson ranks #245 in Football
Malin Andersson ranks 245th among Football athletes on GOAT Rank and 541st of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 84.1 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 80, Peak 88, Longevity 88, Honours 80, Statistics 86. 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 1990–2007 with 18 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1999, 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 sweden caps 178, sweden goals 14, world cup finals 1, damallsvenskan titles 3.
Immediately ahead sits Daniele De Rossi on 84.1, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Sofia Jakobsson on 84.1. 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.
