For me Matt le Tissier takes the cake, managing to score 25 goals from midfield in the 1993/94 season for a Southampton team that finished 18th. Other strong contenders:

  • Luis Suarez 13/14, honestly maybe the best individual season a player’s ever had in the league. 31 goals and 11 assists in 33 games in a Liverpool team that was largely Europa League level aside from Gerrard and Sturridge.
  • Kevin Phillips 99/00, scoring 30 goals and winning the European Golden Shoe for newly promoted Sunderland.

Who’ve you got?

    Suarez took us from 7th to 2nd one year single handedly. I’m not even joking he carried almost an entire team on his back that almost won the title.

    It’s the greatest individual season I’ve seen from a player in 25 years. Shame he’s an asshole though.

      Agreed, and that’s my problem with Saurez…absolute genius levels footballer, and a massive cunt! Interesting combo 🤣

      What’s crazy is that same year 13/4 Yaya Toure has an absolutely insane season for City. I think Yaya broke the record for most ever passes completed in a season + finished towards the top of the league in goals scored, as a true deep lying & late arriving midfielder.

      I sometimes think if Yaya didn’t have that insane season himself; Liverpool would have had the title wrapped up begore Henderson suspension at the end of the season
