Why Viktor Gyökeres ranks #167 in Football
Viktor Gyökeres ranks 167th among Football athletes on GOAT Rank and 326th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 85.5 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 86, Peak 93, Longevity 74, Honours 84, Statistics 92. 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 2016–present with 11 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2024, which sets the Peak component at 93. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 93 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes european golden shoe awards 1, primeira liga titles 2, portuguese league goals 68, sweden goals 20.
Immediately ahead sits Fabinho on 85.5, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Jill Scott on 85.5. 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.
