2025/26 pre-season

Chuck in a few behind closed doors friendlies aswell just after the players are back for pre season. When do they all return?
 
Could my thread be merged into this one?

Pre Season 2025

We're back! 45 days after the night of our lives in Bilbao, the first batch of players returned to Hotspur Way on Saturday to begin preparations for the 2025/26 campaign. The likes of Guglielmo Vicario, Dominic Solanke, Lucas Bergvall, Deki Kulusevski, Djed Spence and Antonin Kinsky were...

Arsenal have friendlies with AC Milan and Saudi Sportswashing Machine before we play them. I wonder if they will be in a better shape than us (Not that preseason counts for anything)
 
Double headers, how very non league!

Joking aside, it makes sense with 30+ players at the moment. Swapping over entire teams at half time isn’t very practical or useful really, they need a few more minutes in their legs than that.
 
We've not played 2 first team games on the same day many times before -- 20 years since the last time, the infamous Intertoto Cup boycott!

Incredible that we played a league game on the same day as the 1901 FA Cup Final replay...

Interesting update. Makes sense as well. Keeps all the players on the same schedule.

Guess it will also give insight into who is really 1st team

Luton team -> Vic, Udogie, VDV, Romero, Porro, Bentancur, Bergvall, Wilson, ? (would be Maddison but unlikely ready), Kudos, Solanke with subs of Danso, Spence, Sarr, Gray, Richi, Johnson (assuming we will need bench because we probably are going to max out at 60 minutes for some?

Wycome team -> Kinsky, Davies, Vuskovich, Kota, Gray, Moore, Devine, Lankshear, Solomon, rest made of Academy? anyone obvious I'm missing?

As a note, when you do break the team into two, LB, AM (Maddison role) are the obvious light on cover places.

I was thinking the same thing. Whoever goes with the B-team will get the conspiracy theories about being inadequate even though it is about getting 35-40 bodies some match fitness.
 
Wouldn't the idea be to split the squad more evenly so that Richy, Danso, Spence, Gray and Johnson etc get starts and 75+ minutes rather than splinters for a half? Also give the 'fringe' youngsters better exposure by playin with more experience rather than a make shift team that tells Frank nothing? Luton and Wycombe are both the same level (first division) so you wouldn't expect to load one too much at the expense of the other.
