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?

    Biased but this should be higher. No player on this thread has been as important to one club for such a long period of time.

      Indeed. We wouldn’t even be in the Premier League if he hadn’t made it his personal mission to beat Brighton in the playoffs.

      Unbiased, guy was a beast who flourished at being the big fish in a smaller pond (no disrespect to CP)
