Why Safet Sušić ranks #119 in Football
Safet Sušić ranks 119th among Football athletes on GOAT Rank and 479th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 82.4 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 78, Peak 88, Longevity 86, Honours 76, Statistics 86. 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 1974–1991 with 14 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1979, 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 ligue 1 titles 1, psg appearances 344, psg goals 96, yugoslavia caps 54.
Immediately ahead sits Ricardo Carvalho on 82.6, a gap of 0.2 points. Directly behind is Pernille Harder on 82.3. 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.
