Premier League GOAT Thierry Henry features twice in Notre Ligue's top ten individual seasons
Erling Haaland could be on that list very soon here as he is doing this season. Here are the ten best individual seasons in Premier League history.
Obviously you're not going to agree with this ranking because it's such a subjective topic, but just know that there's no agenda here. I promise. Have fun.
10) Mohamed Salah 2017/18P36 G32 A11
Salah had played in the Premier League before joining Liverpool in 2017, but you'd be forgiven for not noticing. His time at Chelsea was disappointing and he moved to Italy where he established himself as a phenomenal player for Fiorentina and AS Roma.
In his first season in the English top flight, the Egyptian took the absolute p*ss. He broke the record for most goals scored in a 38-game season, netting 32 times. He also had 11 assists. Just ridiculous.
Although Liverpool failed to come close to winning the league in 17/18, they scored a colossal 84 goals, the second highest in the division, just behind City, who finished the campaign with a meager 100 points and 106 goals scored. A legendary front three was complete with the addition of Salah; and he, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino would win the Champions League in 18/19 and the title in 2019/20.
9) Gareth Bale 2012/13P33 G21 A4
Many of the players on this list will have won some trophy of some sort during their respective season, most likely the Premier League. But Bale didn't. Despite his lack of team silverware, he won the Premier League Player of the Season, the PFA Players' Player of the Year, the PFA Young Player of the Year and the FWA Footballer of the Year.
The Welsh wizard carried Tottenham through the season finishing fifth, narrowly missing out on Champions League football despite Bale's 21 goals and nine assists in the league.
He won so many games on his own, assisting in all three goals in a win over Manchester United at Old Trafford, both goals in a 2-1 win over Liverpool and producing key contributions against West Brom, Newcastle United, West Ham, Arsenal, Swansea City, Manchester City, Southampton and Sunderland.
8) Jamie Vardy 2015/16 P36 G24 A6
It was definitely a Vardy night in 15/16. We couldn't make this list without a Leicester City player given their historic title winning campaign, although my colleague doesn't believe they are one of the ten best teams in Premier League history. .
It was actually quite difficult to choose between N'Golo Kante, Riyad Mahrez and Vardy here. My first instinct was to say Kante, but then I changed my mind to Mahrez, before deciding on Vardy. They were an extraordinary team that defied all odds to win the title.
Vardy broke the record for goals in consecutive Premier League appearances, including his 11th straight game against Manchester United to break the record previously set by former Red Devils striker Ruud van Nistelrooy.
>The former England striker won Premier League Player of the Season and was named FWA Footballer of the Year, with teammate Mahrez winning the PFA Players' Player of the Year, PFA Fans' Player of the Year and the Leicester Player. of the year.
7) Kevin De Bruyne 2019/20P35 G13 A20
Many have come close to breaking Thierry Henry's assists record since it was set in 2003. That year - more on that in a moment - the French striker had 20 assists. Mesut Ozil was close and should have done it in 15/16 when he had 19 assists. The German had 16 before the start of the year but failed to break the record. It was exceptional, really.
Manchester City have won the title four times in the past five years as well as in 11/12 and 13/14, but the only inclusion for the Citizens is De Bruyne in 19/20 when the club failed to won the Premier League.
In this campaign, the Belgian beast was named Premier League Player of the Season and PFA Players' Player of the Year for the first time, as he scored 13 goals and assisted 20 in what was an astonishing season in which Liverpool ran away with the title. The Reds' best player this season was Virgil van Dijk, who was close to breaking into the top ten until I realized defenders are boring.
6) Dennis Bergkamp 1997/98P28 G16 A11
The non-flying Dutchman joined Arsenal in 1995 with Bruce Rioch in charge. His time with Inter Milan in Italy wasn't too successful but bo...
