Ted Lasso might be headed to FIFA 23. In a tweet from the Apple TV+ show's official , the football coach, played by Emmy-winning actor Jason Sudeikis, is seen getting digitally scanned, hinting it's for an game. EA Sports FIFA then replied to the tweet with a side-eye emoji, perhaps sealing the deal for the fictional coach's appearance in the latest football simulation game. Furthermore, a listing for his club AFC Richmond briefly appeared on EA's FIFA ratings database, before getting removed last week.

“Look out, Mario! You're not the only pixelated man with a moustache who never knows where the tube is taking him…,” the tweet reads, poking fun at Lasso's uncertain and random career path. For the uninitiated, including a second straight Outstanding Comedy Series.

Last week, Ultimate Team or the career mode.

Last month, step into the shoes of world-famous managers, as players pick from a template, built keeping their likeness in mind. Managers can be put in control of their main clubs, transferred onto a different one, or you can accept contracts for new opportunities. With the aforementioned Ted Lasso crossover coming up, we could see him stealing the limelight, as players use his model as club managers.

The AFC Richmond screenshots weren't the only thing to be leaked, as last month, by EA Sports accidentally made Liverpool FC and Atlético Madrid.

FIFA 23 is out September 30 on Nintendo Switch.
