How to play as Ted Lasso & AFC Richmond in FIFA 23 Career Mode

All of the boys are here in FIFA 23.

FIFA 23 Career Mode gives fans of the show the chance to live out their ultimate fantasy of playing for AFC Richmond or even stepping into the shoes of the great man himself.

If you’re looking for the authentic Ted Lasso experience, then Manager Career is the place to start. From here you can assume the role of Lasso and guide the Greyhounds to glory by following the steps below:

  1. From the main menu, start a new Career Mode.
  2. Select ‘Play as Real Manager.’
  3. Find Ted Lasso under ‘Rest of World.’
  4. Select the team you wish to manage.
  5. If you choose to stay at AFC Richmond, choose a real team to replace and take their spot in that league.
  6. Hit ‘Advance’ and begin your journey.

Alternatively, if you want to play alongside characters from the show and receive a torrent of abuse from Roy Kent, Player Career is the best bet.

Here’s how to join the ranks at AFC Richmond:

  1. Start a new Career Mode and select ‘Create New Player.’
  2. Customize your avatar and hit ‘Advance’.
  3. Pick a team to replace in the league you want to start in and press ‘Swap Team.’
  4. Pick AFC Richmond under Rest of World.
  5. Adjust the settings and ‘Advance.’
  6. Start your Career Mode and become the next Jamie Tartt.

You can also play as the Greyhounds in one-off matches, both offline in Kick-Off and against real opponents in Online Seasons. All you have to do is head over to the Rest of World when selecting your team and you’ll find AFC Richmond as one of the options.

That was everything you need to know about Ted Lasso in FIFA 23. Expect to see the iconic manager dominate the game this year in both Ultimate Team and Career Mode – football is life after all.
