1. All star bonuses ($2.5k-$4k per player, depending on how many got selected and how much they played during the ASG) ended with this week's merch, resulting in a drop in Jersey Sales for effected players.
2. If you have trainees or older players who had a salary adjustment that changed the %age of your salary from players of your nationality (local) or who were drafted/generated onto your team (homegrown), that will impact the Homegrown & Local aspect of your merchandise.
3. Team Sales is largely dependent on your position in the standings, so if you ended last season in first or second but had a very difficult game 1 and are now in 7th or 8th, there will be a significant change there (I see this doesn't really apply to your team, but in general). In addition, swings in Team Sales will be amplified in the Homegrown & Local aspect, since the HG&L merchandise is a %age of Team Sales based on your team's salary composition as per #2
4. Jersey Sales is a %age of player salaries dependent on player rankings on the three main leaderboards and a few other stats. I haven't seen official confirmation of which other stats, but player Rating has always seemed pretty important in my observations. So if your highest salary players who were regularly pulling 10%+ jersey sales last season had a poor game 1 and aren't leaderboarding, that will have a large impact (this has cost me over $20k in merch in week 1 this season).
