It looks like Ted Lasso and AFC Richmond are coming to FIFA 23 (Eurogamer.net)

UPDATE 21/9/22: Following yesterday's less-than-subtle social media teasing of a Ted Lasso cameo in FIFA 23, EA has mad…

You know him as Jamie Tartt, from hit sitcom Ted Lasso. Actor Phil Dunster tells ESPN about the character and the show.

"And I would be rubbish by comparison and they'd be like, and that was very embarrassing for me. It was mostly about the fact that I could pretend to be a professional footballer. "The weekend that I found out that I got the job, the thing I was most excited about was the fact that we had football rehearsals, which for me as an avid lifelong football fan, that was the coolest thing," he said. For Dunster, the reality that a character he plays as an actor will be in the game represents yet another surreal moment that has come from his association with the sitcom. Then you make your way up to the top and it's great to see [[Leo] Messi](https://www.espn.com.au/soccer/player/_/id/45843/lionel-messi) playing at Plough Lane." "I am truly fortunate, and deeply grateful, to have had many special moments in my career thus far, and I consider this experience among the best of them," Sudeikis said in a statement.
