Really? My best player, my SG is from my original startup team and I have two draft picks I am training, one is my PG and the other is my SF some day in the future, and yet my merchandising is WAY below the league average.

Great incentive.

You only have 3 players in your entire team that are homegrown. And from the looks of it, only Ðuričko and Masters are starters. Additionally, over the past 14 weeks you've had 16 transfers. How many balls do you have in the part of the fans survey that says "I am familiar with the star players, and am not afraid that they will be transferred"?

I have never had more than one ball there and mostly it is 1/2 a ball! I had to totally redo 3 of my 5 positions this season as I was really struggling. It has been hard for me to keep my homegrown draft picks as I have been firmly comitted to guards but I did kep Kent even though he was 6'7" but the even bigger draft picks I have sold off, but I also kept Neale even though he was 6'6" with atrocious JS and then this season I drafted another player with atrocious JS. What can I do? Every season the draft tells me to start training bigs but all my guards are young and all my bigs are old.

I do have one more homegrown player but he is only there for scrimmages once I am out of the cup. I also have 7/12 players that are Australian at least! :)

That should explain your problems with merchandise.

Maybe it's telling you to train a lot of JS? ;)

This will help if you just hold tight and keep your # of transfers down. Patience, young padawan.

I have one ball for the "star player" category for the last 3 or four seasons and always have been above seoason average for merchandise.

I try to have as many NT-players as possible on my roster, that gives you some few k per player extra. While it is hard to buy NT-players from big countries, there are plenty affordable and reasonable players (like ~150k centers compared to the 400k+ monsters from bigger communities) on the market every week.

I have two drafted players on my team that both were in the U21 that seems to have helped too.
