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?

    Don’t be disingenuous. It was 25 goals, not 30, and that was by some distance his best season. Only 19 of those were from open play. He averaged 10 non-penalty goals a year when a regular starter for Southampton (not including his last three years when he barely played).

    So yes - he was wildly overrated.
