Why Maren Mjelde ranks #148 in Football

Maren Mjelde ranks 148th among Football athletes on GOAT Rank and 598th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 81.5 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 76, Peak 82, Longevity 90, Honours 82, Statistics 78. 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 2005–present with 20 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2013, which sets the Peak component at 82. Longevity 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 norway caps 190, women's super league titles 5, fa cup titles 3, euro finals 1.

Immediately ahead sits Alan Shearer on 81.5, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Roy Keane on 81.3. 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.
