There's a little "Steam Deck Compatibility" section that currently says "Unsupported".

EA introduced their own kernel-level EA anti-cheat which makes it impossible to run their games through wine/proton.

ProtonDB is the place for that information. It reports FIFA23 is Borked [0] but FIFA22 works pretty well [1].

FIFA22 works well for some values of well: when the EA launcher is not acting up, which happens often, you might still need to set some flags in the config file, which sometimes get reverted.

It is true that if you manage to start it at all, it works completely fine.
