The Program

Convert Last Year's League.  As usual, FLM will automatically convert your league file from last year for you, so you don’t have to re-enter your team information and league scoring system.
Share Information.  Is there another league that uses FLM? You can exchange schedules, scoring systems, and more through a new import option.
Auto Scheduler.  The scheduler in FLM has been improved to offer pre-defined fantasy team schedules for many more combinations of teams, divisions, and conferences.
FREE Owners Assistant.  Just like last year, all of the team owners in your league can download and install the FLM Owners Assistant for free. Then they can run their own reports each week instead of pestering your for that information. And this year they can even submit their starting line-ups to you electronically!
Compact League File.  Just like last season, all of your league data is stored in a single, small file for easy sharing of information between co-commissioners or between work and home.
Player Transactions.   Add, drop, trade, place on/take off of injured reserve and protect/unprotect players.   Whatever your roster needs, FLM can keep track of all of your player transactions and the corresponding league fees.
