wembley only allows us to have a certain number of max capacity games, because they have other events on which are max capacity during the year. Part of their licence with Brent, so because this season, we haven't committed to being there for the whole season, the amount of 90k games we can have is limited. We can negotiate to get more 90k games but it's not guaranteed.
bit more explanation below, from this article

Tottenham can now play at Wembley indefinitely but with a reduced capacity of 51,000.
A planning application to Brent Council is required to increase the capacity to 62,000 with "additional limited exceptions" at 90,000.
The council had granted special dispensation to allow Tottenham to play the entire 2017-18 season at Wembley at full capacity.
