So I know merchandise goes up and down with the whole how long players have been on your team and that kind of thing, but this past week my merchandise dropped 8000 dollars. This past week I sold one guy who had been on my team for 1 and 1/2 seasons (4 months) and got rid of all my draftees. I like to know if anyone has experienced a major drop like this before. Because if it was the draftees that caused this major drop, I should have kept them since all three of their combined salaries was around 7000.

I wonder how much of it was that last season, you were coming off a title and a final 128 place in the Cup and this season you're not. I don't know how much the "last season" stuff plays into attendance and merchandise but I wouldn't be surprised if it had some role.

I added $220k in salary (including a $66k Canadian) and my merchandise dropped $5k.

I tanked my league game, but I tanked the last meaningful game I played with last week's merch too. That should've have no effect. I expected my merch to jump quite a bit, so this was pretty sad.

You got rid of your draftees...

That means no-home grown/local talent players.
That's why your merchandise took SEVERE hits.

Also, your draftees/home grown players, they got to be good for the level you are at and they also need to play minutes. Only then will you get a boost in merch.

Someone wrote on here once that your Merch amount has to do with the combined salaries of all your homegrown players. Is that true? If it is, that would be awesome.

Don't believe so. Mine was up well above $120k last season and my homegrown players salaries bumped up a little bit this offseason and my merchandise is back down around $80k.

Oh, I have some homegrown guys... Two of my crappy draftees from last year. Other than that I never have any home grown players, except in the beginning when I first started, because I have never had a good draft. Partly because it seems like I am always 13- 16th pick.

But I have never seem a huge drop like this before. Perhaps maybe my merchandise is so bad because I fired them all, instead of being able to sell at least one, like I usually do (for about 1000). Yes, they were all that bad, that they weren't even picked up for 1000.

Also, I believe if you have players on the leader-boards, the more, or the higher, or both, the more merchandising you get?

My merch dropped 15k after adding a stellar starting USA center. Something to do with the new season as a LOT of managers are talking about this
