And it seems Carlisle United’s Owen Moxon is a star in the virtual world as well.
The player from Denton Holme is now ranked the best midfielder in the division…on FIFA 23.
Moxon’s overall rating was bumped up to 66 in a recent data update on the popular game.
That was an increase of six, making the 25-year-old Cumbrian the leading central midfielder in the virtual fourth tier on the EA Sports game.

His display in Saturday’s 5-2 win at Crawley Town earned him a place in the overall EFL team of the week as well as the latest League Two select XI.
He scored one and had a hand in two of Carlisle’s goals in his latest impressive showing.
His fifth of the season was an eyecatching solo effort, after which manager Simpson said: “I kept shouting, ‘Shoot, shoot, get it off, get the shot off’, but he kept going.
“It’s great ability from him, it really is.”
He has five goals and 11 assists so far from his first season in the Football League.
