Following on from greatest ever premier league player, who has had the best individual season since the premier league begun back in 1992?
Shearer's 94/95 season, when he helped drive Blackburn to the title?
Bergkamp 97/98? He started that season with some wonderful goals and general play, as the Gooners clawed back the dominant Utd.
Henry 03/04 - 30 goals, including a couple of 'worldy's' ,assists, and general mastery from the great entertainer
Ronaldo - 07/08 - A similar season to Henry's. Ronaldo was at his Utd peak, as Utd defended their title
Suarez - 13/14. My personal favourite. Missed the first few games, didn't take pens, but still scored over 30 goals, with some being stormers. The man was on fire
Salah - 17/18 - Who saw this coming from the Chelsea reject? Messi-esque play from the Egyptian.
Any more to add?
No City players. Like Utd in the 90's, more of having great teams than an individual dominating.

Combined assists goals:
Shearer - (94/95) - 47 (34 goals, 13 assists)
Cole - (93/94) - 47 (34 goals, 13 assists)
Henry (02/03) - 44 (24 goals, 20 assists)
Suarez (13/14) - 43 (31 goals, 12 assists)
Salah (17/18) - 42 (32 goals, 10 assists)
RVP (11/12) - 39 (30 goals, 9 assists)
Drogba (09/10) - 39 (29 goals, 10 assists)
Henry (04/05) - 39 (25 goals, 14 assists)
Alan Shearer (95/96) - 38 (31 goals, 7 assists)
Ronaldo (07/08) - 37 (31 goals, 6 assists)
Henry (03/04) - 36 (30 goals, 6 assist)
Frank Lampard (09/10) - 36 (22 goals, 14 assists)
Suddenly Ronaldo's season doesn't look that great.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The top two had more games than the rest. Third place had more games than fourth. Ronaldo was more of a winger, more of the traditional sense. There's more than just stats. Didn't Ronaldo win WPoTY that season?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I know that. The stats are far from conclusive. We don't even know how many minutes they all played for. Also Shearer scored from like 10 penalties in that top season. A few of those others never took one.
If I was to pick one, for me it would be between Suarez, Salah and Henry, just based on the PL alone.

I would put Toure in there definitely. He was outstanding for a few seasons. Obviously being a midfielder he doesnt have the stats of the others but he's generally play and influence of league winning teams was phenomenal.

It's difficult to judge when you bring midfielders into it as well, or defenders. At least with forwards you can go with the stats of goals and assists to an extent.
Toure was very good that season though.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
It's always difficult to judge as there have been so many top players but actually watching them plays
rather than using stats gives you the best chance. Of course stats can backup your opinion but Toure is a clear example of why stats don't tell you the whole story. There is no mention of Gerrard either despite winning player of the season on several occasions and making the team of the season in nearly every season he played.
Arguably it's more difficult to do what Gerrard, Keane, Toure etc. were doing than simply scoring goals as the main striker.

I think a pre-requisite for best individual season has to be that the player's team won the league that season. i just don't see how you can say it's the 'best' season otherwise.

Winning the title isn't imo a must. It does put the cherry on the icing, mind.

Title winning:
Kante 15–16: never before seen a midfielder being so dominant and regal off the ball since Edgar Davids in his prime. If only the Galacticos had him instead of Gravensen as their 1 man midfield...
Petr Cech 04-05: record setting 21 clean sheets in league and over a thousand minutes without goals against. He was the best goalkeeper in the world for me in this period, and that with the likes of Buffon, Van der Sar, Casillas in their primes. Took ages after his unfortunate head injury to reach his old level again, and then dropped off quite quickly due to age...
Non title winners:
Dimitri Payet 2015/16: maybe not for a whole season, but he had long stretches where he was simply untouchable like the second coming of Zidane. Scored free kicks for fun anywhere on the pitch, dribbling out of situations where he should have lost the ball. Still a shame he didn't have a buy-out clause and ended up back in France at OM instead of a Barca or Bayern.

Bale's 12/13 season was a good un. Scored some mental goals.
