I also don't think FM would engage in fraud. I do think they are interested in keeping players playing the game at the end of the update. They can promote playt-time numbers to potential partners without being fraudulant and, if they want to be specific about the event, they can call it 'successful' regardless of any lap count manipulation they may do.
