Did this happen to you also? If it did, then post your weekly finances and your league average finances!

Last season I won my league. During that season, I didn't sell out all the time but at the end and my merchandise was steadily rising. Last week of previous season, my merchandising was 20.696.

New season, 3rd league: more season ticket holders and each and every time, I sell out arena - losing or winning. Given I'm giving away games to fall low enough to get a good draft pick, that's pretty nice. I thought my arena is too small for this league and that's why I'm selling out, but finance averages from league are telling me that's not true.

Something else I saw though - my merchandising is CONSTANTLY dropping. That's probably because I'm losing more that I'm winning, but then why am I selling out? These are my averages:

Player Salaries: $ 111 091 Attendance: $ 145 075
Staff Salaries: $ 34 740 Merchandise: $ 24 315
Scouting: $ 0 TV Contract: $ 78 510
Total: $ 145 831 Total: $ 247 900

League averages:

Player Salaries: $ 133 133 Attendance: $ 125 864
Staff Salaries: $ 67 274 Merchandise: $ 34 766
Scouting: $ 10 937 TV Contract: $ 78 510
Total: $ 211 344 Total: $ 239 140

So in average, I'm getting $20.000 more from Arena than averages of my league, while getting $10.000 less in merchandise. Does anybody know why's that? Oh and btw, about 4 or 5 players have a bigger arena than me, despite being in 3rd league for far more time than me, and they are not selling out. So what gives?

BTW, I'm not investing in draft anymore because I scouted everything I wanted (only 14 18yo in my draft...)

I think both things are affected from your succes(fansurvey), but it isn't the main faactor in merchandise.

Impact on merchandise comes from:

- bonus for players of your nationality
- bonus for players created/drafted in your team
- bonus from nationalteam performances of your players
- from the individual salary of a player, and his stats and playing time (at least the salary is my theory, the stats are stated from the BB but the impact isn't that big)

Your team have only two players from your own nationality, and pays low salary so a relativ low Merchandise is normal.
