I make a whooping 17k per week merchandise.

League average is 37k.

Is this a bug or am I really that far off? There are plenty of teams as bad as my team, so the best teams should make around 60-80k (wild guess) to justify that league average.

I suspect it's a function of having low total salary, and perhaps coupled with relatively few season ticket holders (depending on how that compares to the rest of your league).

I guess the other way of looking at it is that you're making over 50% of your team's salary back on merchandise, which is far and away better than other teams. Of course I don't know if you have fired players since the econ update, nor can I be certain whether the NT player you sold had his auction close before or after the econ update. But 17k seems quite a reasonable merchandise return for your club as presently constructed, at least.

Thats my income from merchandise. In Div III I made much more and had a much cheaper roster.

The NT player I sold, was no NT player until 1 hour before the auction ended, so no NT bonus whatsoever applies.

Interesting. Merchandise does increase from the early part of the season through the middle of the season. Perhaps once we get to the same weeks this season as the 22-25.8K weeks from last season, you'll see something similar. The first week where you had your team and made 37K seems like an outlier (perhaps related to your team starting up). But the 19.9K week,

I do think I would have expected an increase in merchandise from D3 to D2, but that may not be correct. If merchandise it correlated to player salary, and your player salary now isn't much different than last season, then perhaps there wouldn't be an increase in merchandise totals.

I've always seen an increase in merchandise going from one league to the next, but that may be confounded with the promotion bonus, and an increase in salaries due to trainees.

You're just far off.


but how come?

I promoted and had a much more expensive roster.


This massive drop totally makes no sense.

There are many things that affect merchandise. Let me put it this way; last season you had a good run, you reached the semis and your fans were happy, so they we're buying merchandise like crazy. After you got promoted as a lucky draw, they got a bit uncertain, so they cooled down a bit, especially since you never know what the new season in bringing. Therefore, their shopping budget decreased. But not to worry, even if you don't perform very well this season, your merchandise will go up as the fans realize the true potential of the team.

Really? Thats a pretty adventurous way of explaining...


However you should take a look at all countries similar to Austria, young teams are screwed big time by the salary floor and too low merchandise income. Needs some overhaul imo.

Hi. I want ask to check if my merchandise profit from this week update was not a bug. It was on the level when my NT player (11033558) not play on monday but he played 31 min for NT last week (22027). Thanks
