Why Silvia Neid ranks #218 in Football

Silvia Neid ranks 218th among Football athletes on GOAT Rank and 456th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 84.6 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 80, Peak 90, Longevity 84, Honours 86, Statistics 84. 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 1979–1996 with 18 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1989, which sets the Peak component at 90. Peak 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 european championship titles 3, germany caps 111, germany goals 48, bundesliga titles 6.

Immediately ahead sits Sandro Mazzola on 84.6, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Amanda Ilestedt on 84.6. 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.
