Among the 11 pre-season friendlies taking place on Saturday was Tottenham Hotspur’s trip to third-tier Reading.

The match at the Select Car Leasing Stadium (bring back Elm Park!) was Thomas Frank’s first game in charge of Spurs.

And there were new faces on show for the Lilywhites, including big-money signing Mohammed Kudus.

Here’s what we saw in Berkshire.

READING 0-2 TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR

  • Goals: Lankshear, Vuskovic
  • Assists: Vuskovic, Kudus

KUDUS DEBUT

Anyone who saw Kudus going through the motions at West Ham United last season would have no doubt been wondering what on earth possessed Spurs to shell out north of £50m on the Ghana international.

But Saturday’s display at Reading was a reminder of why he was sought-after.

Boy, he was good – even if it was just against a League One side.

Introduced at half-time and used on the right flank, he was a big upgrade on Brennan Johnson, who floundered there in the first half.

Pacy, fleet-footed and strong on the ball, the highlight of his 45-minute showing was a superb bit of trickery on the wing (even if the ball may have gone out…) to set up Jamie Donley for a chance in the 78th minute.

Another one of his match-high four chances created was an assist for young centre-half Luka Vuskovic.

He was on set plays, too, with his corners on point. One of his deliveries was nodded on by Vuskovic for Will Lankshear to head in.

An encouraging debut.

“He was exciting to watch. He had four, five very good actions where you could see what he’s about. His pace, one-on-one skills, the way he can twist and turn going forward. That was a positive.” – Thomas Frank on Mohammed Kudus

UDOGIE + PORRO POSITIONING

Arguably the most eye-catching aspect of Frank’s first match at the helm was his use of full-backs.

Pedro Porro has been the go-to Spurs defender in FPL in recent seasons, thanks to his attacking threat.

But on Saturday, it was Destiny Udogie who was afforded more attacking license.

While the formation was 4-2-3-1 on paper, the 3-2-5 build-up was common throughout the first half.

It was Udogie who was pushed high and wide up the field, however, not Porro. The Spaniard instead hung back more, trying to break the Reading defence with balls from deep.

Above: Spurs’ first-half set-up against Reading, via Sofascore. 31 = Kinsky. 13 = Udogie. 4 = Danso. 17 = Romero. 23 = Porro. 30 = Bentancur. 29 = Sarr. 47 = Moore. 45 = Devine. 22 = Johnson. 19 = Solanke.

But before we get too carried away, maybe this was just horses-for-courses. In the second half, the roles were reversed: Ben Davies hanging back at left-back, Djed Spence advancing more from the right. Perhaps if Porro is playing behind the drifting Kudus, he’ll be asked to get forward more.

Porro did retain set-piece duties in the first half, at least. And, with defensive contribution points brought in, who is to say that a centre-half stationing wouldn’t benefit him either…

ABSENCES EXPLAINED

There were some rusty performances elsewhere, Johnson aside. Dominic Solanke and Son Heung-min delivered two of them, the former skying over in the first half.

As for absences, Archie Gray, Mathys Tel and Wilson Odobert were late back from the European U21 Championships and not involved. Richarlison should be back next week, meanwhile, James Maddison is training partly.

Dejan Kulusevski and Radu Dragusin look set to miss the start of 2025/26, however.

Tottenham Hotspur XI: Kinsky (Vicario 46), Porro (Spence 46), Romero (Vuskovic 46), Danso (Van de Ven 46), Udogie (Davies 46), Bentancur (Bissouma 46), Sarr (Bergvall 46), Devine (Donley 46), Johnson (Kudus 46), Solanke (Lankshear 46), Moore (Son 46).

                    It's 2 here in Scotland. I work nights though

                    It's Monday here already. My guess is going to be around 11:00 am. I feel like it is usually late morning

                        so about 9 hours, so maybe 9-10pm tonight for me

                        honestly might not be awake at that time but then maybe I will

                        that is a really long update though

                          They need the time to invent a whole batch of unnecessary rules and tinker with a few more chips. That way they can annoy everyone as much as possible

              "Select Car Leasing Stadium" must be one of the lamest venue names in the world of football.

                It is. But its only leased as that for 10 years, so can go back to normal in 2031. The money from the deal saved us in the interim so its all forgiven really.

                Also SCL is a local business and the 2 founders are lifelong fans of the club, so that feels a bit better too.

                Its a horrible, horrible name.

              Hat trick for Liverpool’s most expensive striker, just before they replace him. Did any of the new boys get involved?

                From what I saw Wirtz looked sharp and grabbed a couple of assists

                  Wirtz looked insane. And he was always around the 6-yard box for crosses. I know it's only one behind doors pre-season game, but on the back of this 8.5m looks silly.

                      Also Frimpong was incredibly attacking. Lots of crosses, a shot or two, in the box a lot.

                    People were making teams for weeks prior to the opening. It has really slowed down

                      I wonder if the game peaked after the lockdown season.

                    There are quite a few other options now. Other websites, social media platforms

                    It is funny though FPL is more popular than ever.

                    But the deadzone off season was always quiet. It will pick up once the game is released I am sure

                          FPL more popular than ever, unfortunately since pay walls started with FFS their popularity has declined.

                        Is there a way in the member's area to filter defenders by CBIs + tackles combined (as in one total figure that combines those stats)?

                          Good suggestion. With the changes a combined figure would be really useful

                          I manually worked out a player earlier and it took a while and afterwards I wasn't really sure I had worked it out properly. They probably is in the pipeline but if it isn't you wouldn't be the only one who wants it

                        PLEASE CANCEL MY MEMBERSHIP

                        Hi FFS. Please for the love of God reply to my emails or just cancel my fckng membership.

                        I've sent 4 emails, starting in Aug 2024 asking FFS to cancel my membership. I've advised that I receive an error when trying to do it. Yes, the email address is correct. Last email was 16/07/25 Subject: Cancel Sub

                        I've been very polite until now. You've already got my money from last season, if you take it again I will flip my lid. Seriously, do the right thing.

                            How come in manage subscription there is no button to cancel your subscription? That's kind of weird

                            As far as I can see there are no options enabling you to manage your subscription at all

                              Yeah, great point, I can't find it either. I thought it was just an issue with navigation on my phone. Last year there was an option, but I was told I needed to contact FFS.

                              So yeah, how does anyone cancel their sub? Surely not everyone has to send an email, that would be absolutely ridiculous.

                                If that is procedure and they don't cancel it make sure you chase them for a refund. That really is inadequate

                                Any sensible system would send you a confirmation of cancellation out. That way you know where you stand rather than being left guessing and posting hoping someone sees. Ridiculous really

                                  Yeah, this time I'll push a refund for sure. But that's assuming someone reads my email and replies to me.

                                  The FAQ indicates you can cancel from Manage Subscription. "then click ‘manage subscription’ from the dropdown menu. You should then see the cancel button." Yeah, maybe you should see a cancel button, but I don't. And anyway, x4 unanswered emails is garbage. Not happy

                                    I've checked it in chrome and edge for you. There is nothing there on either

                                    I think if there were you would see it in one or the other

                          It’s looking like a Monday launch probably around 9-11 am UK time when most people should be at work so reduced traffic on the site . Also US time will be about 3-5 am further reducing the site use.

                            If you like a bit of DIY, sync https://pl.ecal.com/ to a local calendar and export as CSV

                            Otherwise, the good ones are all paywalled

                          So you can't move the teams in the fixture ticker either now? Great update guys. Its like you wrote down the few things good about the site and made them worse.

                            Considering how bad the changes have been to this site, I would honestly question if your web designer has ulterior motives and is actively working to destroy this website and alienate its userbase. Do they actually work for your competitor?

                            1. Comment box now does not auto-update.
                            2. Comment box now only shows 5 comments instead of 10 like it used to.
                            3. Can't move the teams in the fixture ticker anymore.
                            4. Large blank spaces either side of the page for more ads. Dead space essentially.
                            5. Many other issues others have pointed out.

                            You said you "have improved the user experience". You have done the complete opposite and somehow found ways to make this website worse. Who on earth made these decisions?

                            Just you wait and see the user numbers drop off a cliff when everyone shows up at the start of the season and realises how much you have ruined the website. Personally I am already looking at other sites after having been here for over 10 years.

                              Right! It’s been over a week?

                              Yet, I still prefer the old web design. Definitely more user friendly than this. Hate being part of the critics but it is what it is. This new web design sucks! It occupies way too much space & the rest like you mentioned.

                            Use the one in the tools section. You can move that about

                            The flexibility is part of the reason I like to make a spreadsheet

                            How are you? Things OK?

                              Not bad mate, you? But honestly these changes to the website have more then irritated me. Reasons why are stated above.

                                Completely. I'm very rarely on here it's been Nirvana for me for years now pretty much solely

                                The comment thing you mentioned was the first thing I spotted. It makes it harder to have a conversation, honestly I think the site has become steadily harder to have a conversation on bit by bit for a long time

                                The ads too. It all looks particularly bad on mobile in particular

                                I know you had your issues and who it was with. You are always welcome back

                                If you ever want to discuss any of it. Let me know. You are missed

                                    People generally leave because of arguments with one person or another. Another member let me know why you left and honestly I was very surprised, we have never had anything like that before.

                                    It's maybe not the place for it but was it 100% definite? I wasn't sure to act on the individual for the matter or not

                              Ha, you need to be a paid member to use the tools. Over my dead body.

                              These money grabbers. So they removed the option to move the teams as a way to try and force money from people. Hilarious.

                              That's also why the auto update on the comments is gone, so you refresh the page more and they get more ad views.

                              FFS is truly in the gutter.

                                Money grabbers or not, it’s still a business. I don’t cook free lunch for strangers too. If strangers be calling me a money grabber, then why are they even here? There are many other places they can get their food from.

                          How long before the game opens do we think? I usually drop my daughter off at the train station in about an hours time but she can go for the bus if it means there's a risk I'm going to be shamed with a five figure ID all season.

                            You won't need the code for the FA Cup for weeks of course. Not expecting huge take up - it's very nearly as if my name is written on the trophy already which of course makes it the perfect competition.

                              A post on Reddit states the launch times (BST) as:

                              I’m surprised by how many people care about their team ID

                                And the irony is that nobody else is impressed at all about their low ID.

                                I like having a low ID because it's easy to remember. I'd equally be as happy if I could get ID 10,000,000.

                                But the chances of getting a low ID are much better than nailing a nice round number.

                            Before the game launches, I'm keen to know which players are nailed on in your lineup, regardless of price?

                                There’s no such thing really especially with them overpricing everyone so far.

                                  This is the reality. But I expect 352 will be my default formation.

                                  They're pricing them correctly again after a few seasons of 3x Liverpool, 3x City, 3x Arsenal/Newcastle for everyone.

                                  It will be very interesting if Salah is 15m. I expect him to be 14.5m at least

                                Always start with tripling up on one of the teams but no fixtures standout this time. Watkins/Rogers/Martinez could be worth trying out.

                              Removing the ability to adjust the Fixture Ticker is a massive L. FFS making it really hard for me to continue into my 16th year with them!

                              Can’t wait for season to start so I can focus on my team instead of these issues lol

                                      I am genuinely shocked about how quiet it is on here. Does ths mean that everyone is too busy looking at content creator stuff to come on here? It could spell doom, despite all the available tools ...... Mark seems to have been very astute in selling up..

                                        Tbh I didn’t even realise Mark had sold up. I used to be very active in first half of my FFS journey, but had issue with some of the big Mods on here and also with paywalls being introduced, so tend to be a casual in terms of my use here. So can’t speak for others, but I don’t like nor buy into the “content creators” but watch the odd YouTube video and use FPL Statistics for price rises/drops. FFS has evolved unfortunately and not in a good way imo

                              Don't think in the past 10 seasons FPL has ever launched on a Monday.

                                It also never launched this late apart from covid

                                  2016 was 25 days before, same gap as it is today

                                  COVID was the Danny Boyle movie that never happened 28 days before.

                                  My guess would be another day of price reveals.
