On the season, Pearson graded 18 for current form (age-blind), on 6 clean sheets and 2.876 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 18 → 18). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 16. At 33 Pearson is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2020/21 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.

Watch points
- Game time. Only 55.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 33, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 15.6 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.88 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
