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?

    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
