Scout report
A. Pears is a 28-year-old goalkeeper at Blackburn, rated 41 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 382nd of 493 on scout potential in the Championship. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (31.9% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Pears.
Judged on this season alone, Pears graded 7 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 32nd of 44 of the 44 goalkeepers in the Championship, on 3 clean sheets across 13 appearances.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 34 → 7). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 41, 28th of 44 of the 44 goalkeepers in the Championship. At 28 Pears is in his prime years, and a market index of 11.3 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Pears missed 8 games through injury (injury, unfit) out of roughly 46 this season. The 13 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
Below his 2024/25 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Blackburn finished 20th of 24 · a lower-table side
3 clean sheets in 13 appearances (23% of games). Keeping that many behind a lower-table side (20th of 24) — a side that concedes more — points to a busy, productive season between the posts.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 31.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 41, Pears carries the 28th-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the Championship of 44 — though on just 13 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. A limited game time keeper carrying the gloves this season. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
