“The successful launch of this year’s title has been very

of fans across the globe that share the same passion for the
world’s game,” said Nick Wlodyka, SVP, GM of EA SPORTS FC. “With
new clubs and leagues including Juventus FC, the Barclays FA
Women’s Super League and Division 1 Arkema, plus the UEFA Women’s
Champions League and the Men’s and Women’s World Cup* tournaments
still to come, we’re energized to keep this momentum going and
continue on our promise to provide the most immersive and authentic
football experience to fans around the world.”

Bellingham be the top transfer target for players, with over
630,000 players opting to select the Borussia
Dortmund midfielder for their squad.
Players are also enjoying the new integration of their favorite
mustached manager Ted Lasso, with AFC Richmond gaining a lot of
success, winning over 1 million matches to date.
Global cover star Sam Kerr’s Chelsea Women have been the
most selected women’s football team within FIFA 23, with
Manchester City being the top choice for men’s clubs.
Manchester City were also the most popular match up playing against
Paris Saint-Germain.
With an incredible amount of goals scored, strikers have had a
busy start to FIFA 23. The overall top men’s and women’s scorers so
far are:

net”.
