A. Pears is a 28-year-old goalkeeper at Blackburn, rated 41 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 383rd of 493 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 31.5 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.
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.
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).

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~53), then tapers with age. At 28, Pears sits on 31.5, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Pears's projected Rating — 41 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
