My team has 7 players from home nation, including 3 homegrown players and 2 from original team. Here is the weekly merchandise profit in the past few weeks.
One point I want to mention that, when the players from your nation played the Saturday game, then you would have the better merchandise profit on the next Monday. That's just only my tiny observation, not sure whether it is completely true or not.
