Several people are brought in such as Humphrey Ker, McElhenney‘s British pal that got him into football, or Shaun Harvey, a seasoned football executive, who‘s hired to help Wrexham progress. The fact is that the series makes sure to emphasize that football at these lower levels is very uncertain for all parties involved, which FC 25 Coins probably explains why Wrexham‘s current squad only retains 9 players from the 2020-21 team featured here.
Among the lucky ones is Jordan Davies, who not only enjoyed a great season when the Hollywood duo took over, but also happens to be born and raised in Wrexham, thus making him the perfect poster boy for the team‘s current story. On the other hand, there‘s Paul Rutherford, a veteran who‘s entered the final stage of his career and whose actions see him cut from the club after a season-defining error causes him to burst into tears after seeing a red card in the worst possible moment.
All in all, Welcome to Wrexham does a fine job of depicting the ups and downs that come with running a professional football club on a level that feels much closer to home than even what Ted Lasso portrays. As of now, Wrexham has entered the 2022-2023 season still stuck in English football‘s fifth-tier competition (so no FC 25 guarantees), and what happened in the first year of Reynolds and McElhenney does not deserve spoiling, but rather it‘s well worth watching.
For Reynolds and McElhenney Wrexham might be as much of a business as it is a passion project, if Welcome to Wrexham seems over-produced or staged at times it‘s because it was a big part of their pitch. Nevertheless, their star power has gotten Wrexham into FC, Wrexham AFC's shirts now feature TikTok as the club's main sponsor, and well, to paraphrase Ted Lasso‘s Trent Crimm, if the Reynolds and McElhenney way is wrong, it‘s hard to imagine being right.
FC 25 ‘s 2022 release will mark the end of the FC -EA Sports partnership and will see the introduction of a new soccer video game in EA Sports FC thereafter. At the very least, EA Sports FC will have all the popular game modes that have been in past EA Sports FC Coins games, including VOLTA, Career Mode, FC 25 Ultimate Team, and Pro Clubs. With FC still planning to continue making the game with another publisher, the game will need to include certain new game modes and give fans a ton of content to compete against EA Sports FC and other games releasing in the near FC 25 Ultimate Teamure such as UFL.
