Scout report

Squad depthGoalkeeper

A. Pears is a 28-year-old goalkeeper at Blackburn, rated 39.9 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 109th of 169 on scout potential in the Championship. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (26.4% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Pears.

Judged on this season alone, Pears graded 6 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 20th of 31 of the 31 goalkeepers in the Championship, on 3 clean sheets across 13 appearances.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 34 → 6). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 40, top 39% of the 31 goalkeepers in the Championship. At 28 Pears is in his prime years, and a market index of 11 reflects that trajectory.

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 26.4% 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 39.9, Pears carries the 12th-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the Championship of 31 — 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).
