I have 3 subpar draftees. Probably couldn't even sell them. Normally I'd just jettison them. But I'm wondering, if I keep them , being that they're all from my country, players I drafted, will that help boost ticket sales? I don't have many original draftees, and I thought I read once that the more players you have that are from your own country and also if I originally drafted them that it would help with ticket sales. Combined salaries for the three is about $7500 a week though. Maybe more then I would earn in extra ticket sales though. But I'm not sure if its even true? Thanks!

I heard it won't work if they're bit part players. They have to have high salaries to earn enough merch for you.

To put things into perspective, I have a full home grown team with 250k team salary and a 150k star player, and I earn 40k in homegrown & locals. That's from a fully home grown team. I don't think you'd earn much with three players averaging 2.5k salary each

The local and homegrown bonuses are based on the % of your team's salary are from those local or homegrown players.

So $7500 salary homegrowns on a $75000 team salary would have moderate impact (estimates I saw in a forum thread last season were that 10% local -> 10% of your "team merchandise" and that homegrown was higher than that). But $7500 salary homegrown on a $300000 team salary would be negligible.

How does that work? Do you still have a link to the thread?

These were my numbers by the last economic update: 550k in salaries, 130k in merch and of that 130k, 40k is from home grown & locals. I have 1 local (6.67%) with 290k salary, and the rest were home grown with 1 guy earning 130k. I still don't see how 10% local can equate to 10% of team merch when I get 30% for 93.33% home grown.

Sorry, I don't remember the exact thread and I didn't save a link.

But I read it as a bonus of your Team Sales merch amount (which is the base merchandise value and is determined by league level and your positional standing within the league), not as a percentage of your total merch. For example, my breakdown is:

Team Sales $ 14 974
Player Jersey Sales $ 582
Homegrown & Locals $ 11 128
Arena Sponsorships $ 0
Merchandise Store $ 0

And I had about 40% of my team salary as USA players (35% of salary as homegrowns) as of that snapshot.

So on yours, I'm assuming you have about 40k in team sales, 40k in HG & Locals, and the other 30k comes from player jersey sales / arena sponsorships (the payback from the arena design upgrade) / merchandise store

Mine is actually

Team Sales $ 37 513
Player Jersey Sales $ 55 085
Homegrown & Locals $ 43 443

In that case, they might be onto something. Homegrown is known to rake in more bonus merch than locals, so I guess that's why my homegrown and locals is more than 100% of my team sales.

I guess we shall wait for next week's update to see, as I have sold off the lone local player, so my team is fully homegrown. Maybe that can give us an idea on how much homegrown players earn compared to locals (Iirc Justin did confirm that homegrown players earn a higher percentage than local players)
