Default What verb forms fit well in the preposition, 'for'?

I am not sure which verb forms I can use for the preposition, for. I would like to make up some similar examples with it.

(1) I have been scoring a lot of goals for six weeks.

(2) I had been scoring a lot of goals for six weeks.

(3) I have scored a lot of goals for six weeks.

(4) I scored a lot of goals for six weeks.

(5) I was scoring a lot goals for six weeks.

I am not sure if the preposition, for, can only be used for certain tenses. Please explain this. Thank you very much.
