Why You’ll Love It
You get to coach with a guy who’s all about optimism, even when the ball’s stuck in the edge‑corner. “Having Ted Lasso on the sidelines feels like a dream come true,” Sudeikis confessed, and he’s not alone—fans who grew up with FIFA are ready to embrace this upgrade.
A Friendly Remnant From the Show
“Our cast and crew work tremendously hard on this show,” Sudeikis added. “We’re flattered that it resonates with so many folks.” That kind of positivity? It’s precisely what the game needs—and that’s why you’re going to love playing a career as the new star manager for AFC Richmond.
FIFA 23 Lets You Live the AFC Richmond Fantasy
FIFA 23 just dropped a game‑making update that turns the world of Ted Lasso into a living, breathing football stadium. Fans now get the chance to kick it with their favorite AFC Richmond characters, play as them, or even stack up against them in a quick match.
“We’re thrilled to give our fans the opportunity to play with, play as, and even play against their favourite AFC Richmond characters,” the developers bragged.
“It’s absolutely fing cool to be in FIFA,” said Brett Goldstein, who brings the gruff energy of Roy Kent to life. “I’m not sure this will bust the CGI rumours, but f it, it’s totally worth it.”
Goldstein also cracked a joke about the next challenge: “I can’t wait to beat my nephew in a game where I’m Roy Kent and he’s Jamie Tartt. He’s going to throw a tantrum.”
