Apart from hundreds of authentic football, we may also get the fictional football manager Ted Lasso and his team AFC Richmond in FIFA 23. The popular comedy TV series Ted Lasso was released back in 2020 where he was the manager of an English football club named AFC Richmond.
Ted Lasso had recently teased his FIFA 23 debut on Twitter while EA Sports has replied with an emoji.

Look out, Mario! You’re not the only pixelated man with a mustache who never knows where the tube is taking him…
If you take a look at the image above, you will see the Ted Lasso actor Jason Sudeikis standing surrounded by FIFA’s facial capture system. The developers use this system to digitize an incarnation of a person to use in the FIFA series. EA Sports FIFA has also replied to the tweet with an emoji which makes the rumor more evident.
Are we going to see Ted Lasso and his club AFC Richmond in FIFA 23? Only time has the answer.
