I was undefeated in IV last season, mind you, and fully homegrown as well, and while I don't recall what my merch was like when the season started, from this time last season forward I never dipped below 35k in merch.
Oh I didn't even know you are fully homegrown, that definitely has a big impact, I doubt your merchandise would be that high if you weren't fully home grown. I would probably see your merchandise being about 45k max if they were just American and not drafted by you... But I don't know I might be underestimating.
Anyway who has enough time to go fully homegrown... That will take like 10 seasons.
I was fully homegrown, but bought a trainee this season. I've made a habit of training my own draft picks for a long, long time, but reducing to just the guys I drafted only happened a few seasons ago. I think it's impossible to make an NBBA team this way, but with luck I believe you can make a pretty good D2 team without ever buying a trainee.
(It's also quite possible to make a D1 contender this way, but only in micronations where the draft competition is very small.)
Edit: stupid autocorrect. What the hell is the EBBA, anyway?
