Yeah just to elaborate on this, the more national players you have, the higher the merchandise. Not sure how much it boosts the merchandise (I don't think it's very significant) but better than nothing right?

For merchandising it's always nice to have national players. I personally wouldn't focus on that though since it cuts down majorly on the number of prospects for a relatively small Merchandising increase. If I were faced with two similar prospects and one was a US player, I'd pick him, but otherwise I'll take whoever is better. You'll gain more off winning and keeping your Arena full than the couple K you may gain by having all local boys.

Yeah I understand, atleast you have some national players lol, it is kinda weird for me to have all different players from diff countries. I guess I should scout so I can get some National players.

If I were you, I'd sit tight for a while. By your own admission, you've made a ton of transfers recently, and unless you can make a major upgrade at any position, it's not worth the effort to simply change nationalities. Train away for a season, and wait for a chance to improve one of your non-training positions. If, when that time comes, there's a USA player who fits your requirements and is priced evenly with a foreign player, pick the USA guy. Otherwise, it's not that much of a difference.

As a young team, you should be more interested in improving your team and arena than hoarding local players. Once you get into the higher divisions and start to really feel the number crunch due to salaries, the merch bonuses for local guys helps quite a bit.

What you can do is to buy 2 scrubs who are Americans, mainly for the GS purposes. Well, as far as I can tell, you're doing a great job maintaining a good GS, but managing GS with 12/13 players might be easier. It's really up to you though. I have 3 national scrubs (2 of them are my draftees) so that it boosts my merchandise a little.

Do you really notice a difference here? The rules seem to hint that this doesn't have an effect.

From the Manual:
Merchandising income comes from your fans buying team apparel. Jersey sales are affected by a combination of factors. One factor is whether you have a winning team. Nobody likes to wear the jersey when you're losing, do they? Other factors include how many domestic players you have on your team, and also how many were drafted by your own team, as fans like supporting local players more than imported talent. This is weighted by the overall skill of the local players, so stocking your team with local bench warmers won't do you much good.

My local scrubs are all draft picks, and from time to time, they get garbage minutes of training. Every little bit helps ;)
