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.

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.’
