Even though they only came 2nd in the league rather than 1st, Henry of 2002/03 should be on here. He got 24 goals and 20 assists, and no penalties. That's a higher combined total than anyone else on your list apart from Shearer, but Shearer played 5 more games when the league had 22 teams in it.
It's arguably a better season than he had a year later, individually speaking.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
And yet RVN got player of the year that season, despite those are great stats from Henry
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Giggs won it in 2009, despite Gerrard being the best player in many peoples views, when he had only started 9 games up to the point of the nominations. It's perhaps a travesty that he never won it up to that point despite performing at an outstanding level for over a decade and it's likely that which swayed the voting.

Goes to show it's best not to take these accolades and honours too seriously sometimes. Rooney won it over Drogba too when Drogba had the better season in 09/10.
Ginola won it in 99 when Keane was the outstanding player. We can all pick a season where we believe one of our players didn't win it and we believe should
I know I just said Toure’s 13/14 season was underrated but it also is on a similar level to the best seasons Lampard and Gerrard had.
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.
Harry Kane also has 36 from 3 seasons ago.
Slightly biased but I’d say Ronaldo 07-08, and let’s not forget he was almost as good in the seasons either side.
Salah’s is the most impressive in its own way - literally nobody would have expected him to have that kind of season.

Of course. Keane for me is the most underrated player in PL history. Whilst I never admitted at the time he was my favourite player until Gerrard came along. Shocking how Scholes has got better after retiring and Keane worse.

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.

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.
