Right now my merchandise is $22, 578 (I'm in div. IV). I'm losing about $7,000 a week and I think that's the problem. I don't buy and sell players a lot so that shouldn't be hurting my merchandise. However, I'm looking for a new PF right now and I'm wondering if I should go out of my way to get an American player because of this situation.

My merch. is 26k. Not a big difference. Try expanding your arena, that's the main source of money.

you're still in the cup. Each cup game gives you a plus of 50k per week, so two more weeks of cup games and you have covered all your losses for the season. Not buying players might hurt your merchandise though. Buying an American PF sure will help you, but it's unlikely to cover those 7k every week unless he's a NT player. How much do you pay your staff each week? You could perhaps save some money there.

Edit: Zolinho is right, your arena is quite small. Expanding it will give your more money in the medium and long run.

I have 6 American players, I think it makes a big difference. I have a 52k roster but make 26k in merchandise.

Having a big arena is the best way to get a steady income- focusing on american players for the sake of merchandise will probably only give you a couple thousand more, so its really not worth it.

True, but imagine if you had a 180k player that is not on NT; you'd be giving up 70k every week, right? If you need a 180k player and you have to choose if he's on NT or not, I think that's really not a hard decision
