# leyson17 : being in his 30`s lukaku was playing down the leagues for leeds in the npower championship, so yes played about a 80 plus game season and so 100 goals is quite reasonable taking into account the fa cup, the league cup, the johnstens paint trophy and the 48 game season I only used this example as it shows how a player that much better than the ones around can score so many goals, like caca for newport.

im not trying to cause agro here, im just saying that its possible without an editor.

and no sorry i dont have any screen shots, i never make stories on this site so ive never learnt to take them, i will in future :] but it looks like this has been sorted now anyway, id just hate for the effort that has been put into this newport career to be spoilt and tarnished by suggestions of cheating :[

Firstly championship clubs do not participate in the johnstone's paint trophy secondly, it is a 46 game league season. Yes they do part take in the league and fa cups they are a championship team and most often then not they last around 3-4 rounds in each tournament. This would make the total games for a season around 46-54 mark.

You said that Lukaku had 80 apps that would have been impossible because as i just explained championships clubs average 46-54 games a season. You said he scored 100 goals that is very unlikely in that amount of games he had and the the level of the team he was in. His physical attributes would have dropped because of age making him a slow player which would the effect his game.

You said he made 80 apps that season this means you saw his history page, am pretty sure if you put up a screenshot of that page we would not see that as it is just not possible.

Also you said in your comment before last that he did have barren spells, this further proves my point that what your saying is incorrect. to score 100 goals in 80 apps is not impossible but championship clubs do not have that many games in fact they would not even make 70 games even if making it to finals in both fa and league cups. To score 100 goals in 46-54 apps is very unlikely in itself even if he played all of the games but to add on that he had barren spells further adds flaw to what you have said.

Finally i too am not here to cause agro but i would like to get the facts straight. I was wrong to accuse joannes3000 of cheating i was proven wrong there but here i think i have proven you wrong. Perhaps you wanted to back up joannes3000, i presume you consider him a friend and you wanted to back him up and prove he was not cheating. hey i would have done the same. but with a more believable story
# Mads :
2. gambino. You know nothing about FM. At all.

i don't know you and you don't know me do not presume i know nothing about fm because i shared an opinion of mine yes it was proven wrong but i was not saying it was fact and always asking for joannes3000's explanation that when it came explained a lot along with futher explainations from other sources that were mentioned in my apology.

your comment was meaningless
I thought I wrote Leeds were in the Npower league one, not championship, sorry for the added confusion lol which is a very weak league for him to score stacks and they would have played in the Johnstens paint trophy aswell. And as I said I don't take screenshots its just from memory, so perhaps I was a number of goals wrong but not that many, but Im a fan of Lukaku and he scored a ridiculous amount nevertheless. Id just like to add that in FM terms I am a friend of his Newport story but that would never lead to me creating false stories, I hope to make my own when FM 12 comes out and I wouldn't want people to think that as well was unbelievable :/ sorry to have caused a dispute with you " GAMBINO " it was not my intention.

if they got to the final of the paint trophy then that would take their average season games to 46-61.

saying he had 80 apps and 100 goals confused me.

if he scored 80 then okay thats great it's achievable in 61 games
great story Joannes :) could you show me the screenshot of adam lallana and alex oxaide chamberlain please :) would like to see how they progress in the careers?
Amazing story Joannes when are you going to post another update?

Seeing as I had a first part of the comment (marked by "1.") which you conveniently disregarded, it was not a meaningless post. You made a lot of baseless assumptions and incorrect statements which led me to the belief that you don't actually know very much about the game, and therefor should not try to question people, leave that to the professionals.

They were not baseless assumptions anyone who has used FMRTE knows that all of what I said is possible. We both have seen the screen shots you saw it one way I another.

The dramatic increase of ratings and goal ratio made me question if this was down to cheating.

I am at fault to quickly accuse of Joannes3000 of what I thought he did. I should have waited so that he could explain it.

This does not mean I do not know nothing about the game
why are you guys fighting? tbh you sound like children, come on this thread is here to marvel Joannes3000's incredible feats with Newport Coounty, not fight over something unrelated to it!
can't someone just shut them up so we can listen to the maestro that is joannes 3000

You were only two weeks late.
It goes without saying that updating this story has taken a back seat to some other projects. I'm still simming games with Newport but right now my main focus is trying to determine what team I want to take on in FM12. Right now I'm simming through a career in the MLS because one of my ideas is to take my hometown team - the Portland Timbers. The financial and international restrictions bore me in the MLS, however, so now I'm looking to take part in the absolute worst league imaginable that still ties into the Champions League. :D

I'll do my best to post annual updates with Newport and England. My goal is to finish out the Euro Cup and then step down from the England job to focus solely again on Newport County.
Glad to see this has been pinned - tis a fantastic model! :)
With my pre-order in for FM12, it's time to finish up this story! Expect some updates this weekend as I make the final push in my Newport and England careers.


December was a busy and successful month for the Exiles, and we brought home a present to the supporters at home - the Club World Championship trophy. We're also into the semifinals of the League Cup after an easy win over League 1 side Torquay.

We won all six league games this month in convincing fashion outside of a 2-1 away game vs Birmingham. We dominated them on the pitch and barely found enough goals to come away with a win. With the season just past the halfway point, we hold a slim 3 point edge over Man City at the top of the table. Liverpool sits 5 points back of us and Chelsea is in 4th, down 8 points.



We finished out the group stage of the Champions Cup with an emphatic 2-0 win at home vs Inter. We had qualified out of the group stage long ago but it was nice to see our side remain motivated and to finish at the top of the group. Our first foe in the knockout stages will be Olympic Lyonnais. It's been 4 years since we've played them in any competitions but my hatred for them is still strong. I will forever remember them as the team that dashed our first attempt at bringing home the Champions Cup - and this happend back in 2020.



Our team is fit and playing well. After looking like he may be on the downside of his career, Caca has regained his lethal scoring touch this season. Marcel Hasselbaink looks ever ready to take over when Caca finally calls it a career, and James Jones is beginning to come into his own as well.
