What would all-time rankings of football clubs look like? How would you measure it? And how do you compare it across 139 years of radically different football? The Football Club Ranking index (FCR index) is built to confront these problems directly. Rather than ranking clubs based on popularity, finances, or short-term success, FCR index measures and ranks football club power based on a comprehensive statistical methodology, i.e. each club’s FCR points are a derivative of its performance in important competitions (Champions League, Domestic Leagues, and Europa), competitive depth of the league at that point in time, and... sustained presence at the top level. Pre World-War II dominance and modern success are evaluated using the same level of comprehensiveness yet balance to reflect the quality and maturity of football to ensure cross-generation comparability.

Given the super long term timeline, the index rewards not peak generations alone, but consistency, longevity, and competitive strength relative to contemporaries. FCR rankings update at the end of each football season, making it a dynamic measure of long-term club power rather than a static honours list. Click here to read the full computation methodology.
