Tottenham's status, where Son Heung-min left, has changed again.
The view was dark before the lid opened. Football statistics media 'OPTA' predicted Tottenham to rank 14th in the English Premier League (EPL) in the 2025-2026 season.
The reality was different. Tottenham has won two games with Arsenal and Liverpool. Arsenal, which was ahead of goal difference, was in first place and Tottenham was in second place. It is more of a hot topic because it is different from the atmosphere of the transfer market. Tottenham transfused Mohamed Qudus and João Palinha, but have failed each time in their recruitment campaign since then.
It was fatal to miss Eberechi Eze in front of his eyes. Son Heung-min, who moved to LA FC in the U.S. Major League Soccer (MLS), and James Madison, who is injured, have to fill the gap, but it is not easy. There could be a mid-to-late season crisis.
So far, manager Thomas Frank is Tottenham's power. England's 'BBC' recently praised Frank as Tottenham's 'best recruit' this summer.
Coach Frank has already begun to appeal to Tottenham fans. 'His impressive start came against the backdrop of widespread supporters" discontent with the club's failure in the transfer market this summer and disillusionment with its chairman Daniel Levy' but Frank said bringing in might be the best recruit the club has ever made'

And captain Son Heung-min said goodbye on the preseason tour, while Madison is out for most of the season due to a knee injury. Since then, two transfers have been canceled. Levy was criticized by fans. However, it was Levi who broke up with Postecoglou and decided to sign Frank as manager.
Britain's 'The Sun' unveiled a new expected ranking of supercomputers after the second round of the EPL on the 26th (Korea time). This is the result of 100,000 simulations of supercomputers. Tottenham's projected ranking jumped to sixth place. On the 23rd, the team defeated Manchester City 2-0 in a big way. Tottenham defeated Burnley 3-0 in the opening round.
The team with the highest probability of winning was still Liverpool. However, it is a close game with Arsenal, who succeeded in 'storming in'. Liverpool, which won the EPL last year, expected 79 points and Arsenal 78 points.

Manchester City is expected to come in third, Chelsea in fourth, and Newcastle United in fifth. Manchester United, which is aiming to rebuild the family, has been sluggish from a start this season with one draw and one loss. But the supercomputer was generous to Manchester United. It attracted attention by placing it in 7th place.
'The Sun' is 'Manchester United's expected ranking is rather shocking. At least six clubs, including Manchester United, Tottenham, Newcastle and Aston Villa, are expected to compete fiercely for the expanded European tournament ticket, he explained. Aston Villa are listed in eighth place.
The relegation structure of Burnley, Leeds United and Sunderland, which were promoted to the EPL this season, was also shaken. Burnley and Sunderland were still expected to be relegated, but Leeds escaped. Hwang Hee-chan's Wolverhampton took the place. Wolverhampton was predicted to be 18th.
