What Future Holds - Lewis Cook

Introduction

Welcome to the What Future Holds Series, where we simulate 10 years into the future to see how the wonderkid do in there.

In the third part of this, We will simulate a promising english player from Bournemouth, Lewis Cook.

The Player
Name : Lewis John Cook

Birthday : 3 February 1997

Current Club : AFC Bournemouth

Nationality : English

Lewis John Cook is a professional english footballer for AFC Bournemouth.
He has represented his country in various youth levels with great achievement such as 2014 UEFA European Under-17 Football Championship and the 2017 FIFA U-20 World Cup.

He also win some individual award like Football League Young Player of The Year.

His stats doesn't look very remarkable though, with his best stat is in his Aggression, Teamwork and Stamina standing at 14. Now Let's see What future holds!

5 Years Into Simulation ( 2016-2021 )

Not seems a lot improvement right? Most of his improvement only add one number to the stats, Bournemouth Training Facilities could be the problem.

As you may notice now, he plays in Scotland now with Celtic. He also gets a few caps for England.

With Bournemouth, Cook won the EFL Cup is a bit of surprise, but next season they fall of to the Championship.
Celtic isn't seem to be winning anything but that maybe because i didn't load the league.

Average First team appearance to Bournemouth, he leaves his club after the relegation and move to Celtic for €2M and plays more regular, and better.

 

Lewis Cook as 2020/2021

Appearances : 238 Apps (  155 since game started )

Goals : 14 Goals ( 13 since game started )

Assists: 16 Assists

10 Years Into Simulation ( 2025/2026 )

 

Decent Improvement on the player, even with drops in some attributes.

He come back to England now, playing for Leicester City in EPL. He adds his caps in the national side with also score 2 goals to England.

 

After his good first season in Scotland, he moved back to England as Aston Villa buys him for €13.25M.

His time in Aston Villa is short, after one season Leicester buys him for €34.5M, a lot of money for that club.

With Leicester, he's having a very good performances, making 42 goals.

Lewis Cook as 2025/2026

Appearances : 421 Apps (  338 since game started )

Goals : 32 Goals ( 31 since game started )

Assists: 51 Assists

Retirement ( 2032/2033 )

As you should expect, his stats decreases a lot and now he's more experienced, he got that green in Leadership.

He managed to get 84 Caps and 3 Goals for England.

Not once winning a trophy since moved from Bournemouth but he gets the most hard thing to get, watching Southgate sacked ! I swear that rarely happens

Still plays good amount of games before released, he goes with no club for 2 years until his retirement though, which i find weird.

Lewis Cook as 2031/2032

Appearances : 629 Apps (  546 since game started )

Goals : 52 Goals ( 51 since game started )

Assists: 76 Assists

Conclusion

He is a great player with great stats. He will fit into any big club in the world.With the right training, his stats could better than this.

I've seen him get much better than that, although he's not really a spectacular player, just a useful and versatile player to have in the engine room of the team. You're right about Southgate, no matter how badly he does his job just goes periodically insecure. I believe I've only ever seen him sacked once on this version. Excellent write up as usual, your style is a perfect blend of concision and detail. How about Jacob Murphy for the next one? Edit: Or maybe Will Hughes while you're on English centre mids.
