Good to know, that must have been done in the last year or two by viewing goals as they didn't officially start to count assists until 2003 and didn't always have that information on their site but it seemed easy enough to figure out via and intern going over video and match reports.
Best Goals & Assists totals combined in Premier League history?

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
If we look at overall instead of individual seasons then I’d say Rooney’s is really impressive. Third highest assists in the league, more than Gerrard and Lampard having played less games but also second in goals scored.
Gerrard got 13 goals & 13 assist in 13/14 and 16 goals 9 assist in 08/09. Think those were the seasons they got closest to the title apart from last year.
Actually Lampard in 04/05 got 13 goals and 18 assists.

Suarez never got 17 PL assists in 13/14 and had less goals contributions than all the players in the post you quoted
Mentioned in the OP that I used transfermarkt, they are more generous with what constitutes an assist.
The PL site has him at 31 goals and 12 assists in 33 games.

Weren't Gerrard's 13 goals in 13/14, 12 penalties and one free kick?
Possibly, can’t remember.
Suarez scored 31 goals without pens because Gerrard took them. He could have easily reached 35 if he took pens.
10 pens, 2 fks, 1 header
Imagine suarez taking pens that season, could have had 40 goals
I love to bash him as much as the next guy but he was brilliant in most of the big games that season, even though he was unlucky with the end product. I wouldn't put him next to Henry and Ronaldo in terms of their league peak though.
