v1 measures peak through documented recognition (awards and titles) in the best rolling window, because season-level performance data is not available consistently across eras.
Career performanceFull evidence88.4+22.11 points
- International caps per year
- 7.57 → 88.43
Scoring production is not used for defenders. Position-specific defensive and goalkeeping metrics are not recorded consistently across eras, so v1 relies on international selection rate.
