Much has to do with salary of the player and the nations world rank as well. A starter for a foreign top nation will give more merchandise then a middle of the pack ranked nation.
But own drafted players has by far the greatest impact on any teams merchandise no matter what in this game as far as i can see.


Fact is, that a foreign NT player will not increase your merchandise. Most of the time he will even reduce the weekly income in that category (like any other foreigner). Very bright coding.

Everything depends on what player he takes the spot from. A random nationality that does not play in any NT and he is sure to increase your merchandise.


If a foreign player replaces a domestic player - regardless how bad this guy even might be - you won't see an increase. Even if you replace a foreigner with a better foreigner, your merchandise will go down, as the share of domestic salaries declines.

If it does drop it is because of a worse fan survey due to selling a player. That will slowly go back up again though and go higher then what it was before.


That does not happen. At least I have never seen that happen. I have seen merchandise skyrocket after a foreigner is sold and the roster is much weaker than before though.

I think there's some thought behind the system as it is now where home grown players (even scrubs) can produce more merch then many high salary players. It prevents top teams that has put a LOT of money in their roster from getting an extra big advantage over other teams. And also helps new teams get some extra edge on the economy as they often will have home grown players for a long time as they start playing.


New teams have an edge because of this way merch is calculated? Oh come on... If I dinn't know you as a reasonable person, I would think you are trolling me. How can a 2,3k salary scrub, that is useless in ANY league in this game produce more merchandise than a 150k NT player? That makes no sense at all.

Well it makes sense if that is what you intend to do with it. I'm not arguing that it makes sense or anything. If you think
that you may need to read my posts better.


I understand where you come from, but if it would work like intended, we would see much different rosters.
