Ultimate Team modes have been a massively popular addition to EA Sports' annual franchises since their inception, appealing to both hardcore spenders and free-to-play FC 25 Coins players looking to grind their way to the top. Ultimate Team modes across the Madden NFL, FIFA, and NHL franchises reportedly netted over $1.6 billion in profits for EA throughout the fiscal year of 2021. While Ultimate Team may lend itself more to players looking to spend, there are plenty of budget-friendly options for those looking to build a competitive team without breaking the bank.

Ted Lasso has now spent more than a year in his position as manager for AFC Richmond, a coaching stint marked by the humoristic approach the writing team has had so many Americans intrigued by the Premier League‘s constant battle for relegation and promotion, but also by Roy Kent‘s FIFA -like appearance.

After bagging a bunch of Emmy wins this past weekend that will only boost viewership for the Apple TV exclusive, even more memes have started popping up questioning if actor Brett Goldstein is indeed a real person or just the latest example of bleeding-edge CGI graphics. So where does this hilarious conspiracy theory come from? Well, it‘s hard to trace, but for the most part, people who jumped on the Ted Lasso train since the show‘s premiere have always been struck by Goldstein‘s video game looks.

It really doesn‘t take too long for this effect to take over viewers‘ minds as the pilot episode features the introduction of club captain and former Chelsea star Roy Kent, and from the first moment he and Ted meet in the club‘s locker room and in his office, Goldstein looks decidedly “video gamey” to say the least. Merely by glancing over the Ted Lasso subreddit from a year ago, one will find many posts and jokes about Roy Kent.

What is it about Goldstein that has fans thinking that this cheap EAFC 25 Coins very real man is just the product of the world's most accomplished deepfake since that fan-made Mark Hamill for Lucasfilm and Disney? While it‘s not the entire story behind it, it seems that -despite constantly changing directors- the camera equipment and lighting chosen for Ted Lasso, plus Apple TV‘s penchant for pristine quality high definition content can end up making everyone look utterly unreal, like Unreal Engine 5 game unreal.
