Ted Lasso can be obtained by various means in FIFA 23 Ultimate Team

While the protagonist of the series is obviously the focus point of this crossover, FIFA 23 has a host of Ted-Lasso-themed content available in-game. In the series, Ted coaches a fictional English football club called AFC Richmond, and several of its players have now been included in the latest iteration of FIFA.

Along with these footballers, AFC Richmond also features in FIFA 23 in the form of badges, kits, and several other cosmetic items that fans can decorate their stadiums with. These items are available in FUT and can be unlocked through objectives. Currently, there are two active AFC Richmond themed objectives in the first season of the game cycle.

How to unlock Ted Lasso in FIFA Ultimate Team

Ted Lasso is available in FIFA 23 as a managerial item that fans can assign to their FUT squads and boost chemistry. Jason Sudeikis went through a face-scan and motion capture procedure with EA Sports and can be seen on the sidelines during cinematic cutscenes in-game.

There are two ways to unlock Lasso as a manager in FUT. Gamers can either purchase his card from the FUT transfer market, or unlock a first-owner tradeable version of the American manager through the brand new mode introduced in FIFA 23 called FUT Moments by redeeming the stars they earn in-game.

As an American, he provides additional chemistry to any player from the United States of America. Similar to any other manager, gamers can apply a league modifier to his card and provide additional chemistry to any footballer from that particular league.
