Free hosting for Franchise Hockey Manager online leagues
FHMNOW
FHMNOW turns your Franchise Hockey Manager exports into a living league hub: collectible cards, live drafts, line-building tools, scouting reports and Discord bots that keep your GMs talking between sims.
Collections
Collect your league, one pack at a time.
Every league gets its own trading-card set built from its real players and stats. Open packs, chase rare inserts, and trade with the other GMs in your league.
- 8-card packs with era-styled designs, from Base and Foil up to Chrome, Outburst, Legend, Black Ice and Inferno.
- Numbered inserts: 1/1 Autos, /3 Patches, 1/1 Silver Metal and Nations Autos.
- Auction House, card trades, Challenges, Team Packs and the Lab for crafting, plus a featured showcase on your profile.
TROPHY cards: one of one, forever.
Each real award winner in your league (Hart, Conn Smythe, Vezina, Norris, Calder, Selke, Rocket Richard and Art Ross) can be pulled as a single 1/1 Trophy card. Only awards from the last 10 seasons are in the pool. If nobody pulls one before it ages out, that card is burned and can never be minted.
Trends · Team Analysis tab
Hot streak or just lucky?
Drag a window across the season and every team number recalculates against the full-season baseline, so you can tell a real slump from a cold shooting stretch.
- Last 5 / 10 / 20 games or any custom range, with a goal-differential strip for the whole season.
- Team snapshot: points %, goals, shots, Corsi, high-danger chances and special teams, each with the change vs. the season.
- Points pace, projected finish and a PDO luck check, plus player tables per game, per 60, by strength and vs. season.
- Separate Shot Quality and Cap Efficiency views.

Dev tracking · Player Development tab
Watch your prospects grow up.
FHMNOW snapshots every player’s ratings each game month, so you see how a player is actually progressing instead of guessing from one screen in the game.
- One-year change summary: attribute total, overall, ability and potential, before → after.
- A plain-English read on the development pace, adjusted for age.
- Charts for every attribute, grouped into Offense, Defense, Mental and Physical, with the biggest movers up front.
- Team development reports and prospect pipeline views roll it up for the whole organization.
“This player is developing faster than average, with changes spread in a balanced way across all areas. Given his age, this growth trend can reasonably continue.”
Live drafts · Draft mode
Run your entry draft on the site.
A live draft room with a pick clock that GMs can follow from their phones. They make picks from their Manager Portal, and the commissioner runs the room from Draft Admin.
- Pick timer with a configurable time per selection, overnight “dead hours” that pause the clock, and optional autopick when time expires.
- Draft lists: GMs rank their targets ahead of time.
- Commissioner controls: start, pause or add time, reorder picks, reassign pick owners, pick on a team’s behalf, undo the last pick.
- Discord announcements for each pick and who’s up next, plus every past draft class you’ve imported.

Best Lines engine · Chemistry tracking
Lines that make sense
Under Lines → Best Lines on every team page, the engine reads each player’s attributes, works out the role he fits best, then builds lines whose roles and handedness work together.
- Role ratings for every slot (Sniper, Playmaker, Power Forward, Two-Way, Backchecking and more), with the key attributes and their league percentiles.
- Line chemistry score from role pairings and shooting hand. It updates as soon as you swap a role or player.
- Line ability ladder grades each unit from Deficient to 1st-line quality.
- Lock players and regenerate to build all four forward lines, scoring and checking units, around the players you want.
- Hitting ★ 1680%
- Screening 2097%
- Checking 1785%
- Strength 1894%
- Defensive Read ★ 1536%

Export Tracking
Stop asking “did everyone export?” before a sim. FHMNOW reads your league’s FTP folders and shows when each team last uploaded its team_<id>.fhm export.
- An export only counts as valid if it was uploaded after the current league file, so stale files stand out.
- Counts for exported this week and valid exports, plus file sizes to catch empty uploads.

The foundation
Everything a multiplayer league needs to run
FTP connection
FHM-ready FTP server connection provided. Your league gets dedicated FTP details so GMs can export team files and download the latest league file from inside the game, the same way a self-hosted multiplayer league would.
- Host, credentials, port, and paths (league file and team file locations) are shown on your signed-in League Admin profile after your site is provisioned.
- League file creation assistance, including the initial ZIP packaging commissioners send to GMs, is available through the FHMNOW Discord community.
FHM menu paths and FTP field mapping: FAQ: How to set up multiplayer.
League website
Each league gets a mobile-friendly hub. You refresh the public data by uploading league CSV exports from the commissioner workflow, with no manual HTML or separate hosting to maintain.
Game versions: FHMNOW supports importing and presenting leagues built in Franchise Hockey Manager 11, Franchise Hockey Manager 12, and Franchise Hockey Manager 13 (your commissioner selects the game version in League Admin so CSV expectations match your export).
League modes: Whether you run a standard league, a historical setup, or a custom roster universe, the same site model applies. Standings, teams, players, and scores follow whatever is in your uploaded league data.
