(Pocket-lint) — FIFA 23 officially releases on Friday 30 September 2022, with some already having early access to the game through EA Play or by pre-ordering the Ultimate Edition.

That's why we've put together this quick and easy guide.

Our guide to the best Switch games — including exclusives, indies, single and multi-player titles.
Ted Lasso and the entire AFC Richmond team are available across multiple game modes in FIFA 23. As are themed items in Ultimate Team and the Nelson Road stadium (which is based on Crystal Palace's Selhurst Park, as that's where the show is filmed. But they aren't that easy to find.
Here's how to select them.
Sadly, while you can play as Ted Lasso in a manager career and take control of his on-screen team, you cannot play as Roy Kent or any of the AFC Richmond players in a player career.
You can also play as AFC Richmond in the multiple other single-player and online modes, including Quickplay, Pro Clubs and Seasons.
When selecting your team, you just need to scroll the country to «Rest of World» and you'll find AFC Ricmond there.
