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?
Lukaku West Brom 12/13 Best ever prem finish for them scored something like 16/17 goals. Mulumbu, Brunt, Morrison etc were all great for them too but that loan was a master stroke
And they had the chance to sign him on loan again next season but either declined it or didn’t have enough money.
