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.
Award availability during the peak window was very low; this indicator understates players from that era.
Career performanceFull evidence26.5+6.62 points
- International caps per year
- 2.76 → 26.47
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.
