FC Architect
Build your club. Climb the pyramid.
What is FC Architect?
FC Architect is a football-club management sim for iOS. You found a club at the bottom of one of the Big Five European league pyramids — England, Spain, Germany, Italy or France — then build a squad, play your matches, run the club's finances and climb season by season toward the top flight.

FAQ
How do I restore a subscription?
Open the app, go to the Pro upgrade screen and tap Restore Purchases. Restores run through the Apple Account that made the original purchase, so make sure that account is the one signed in on the device.
How do I manage or cancel my subscription?
Subscriptions are managed by Apple, not by us: open the Settings app, tap your name, then Subscriptions — or visit apps.apple.com/account/subscriptions. Cancelling stops future renewals; you keep Pro until the end of the period you've already paid for.
Where are my saved games?
They are stored locally on your device, inside the app. Deleting the app deletes its saves, and because we never receive your game data we can't recover a save for you. If you back up your device, your saves are included in that backup.
What's free, and what needs Pro?
The full game is playable for free for your first complete season — nothing is locked away or trimmed down. Pro removes the season cap, so a career can carry on indefinitely.
Can I continue the same club on my iPhone and iPad?
Not at the moment. Saves live on the device that created them, so a club started on your iPhone stays on your iPhone. Your subscription does carry across, because it belongs to your Apple Account — tap Restore Purchases on the second device. Syncing careers between devices is something we're looking at.
Why can't I pick one of my players?
Two things stop a player going into your XI. Injured players can't be selected — the team sheet lists them separately with the number of matchdays they're out for, and they come back on their own. Separately, the team sheet checks your XI against the shape you've chosen: if you're a defender short for a 4-4-2, it will tell you so and hold the play buttons until you bring one on from the bench, or switch to a formation your squad can actually field.
My club went insolvent. Can I get it back?
No — and that's deliberate rather than a bug. Losses are covered from your personal fortune, and when that runs out the club is insolvent and the career ends there. It's the risk that makes climbing mean something. Start again in one of your other save slots; the pyramid, the clubs and the finances are all still there to have another go at.
The game is asking me to start season 2. Why?
Your first full season is the free tier. When it finishes, continuing that career needs FC Architect Pro. Your club, squad, stadium and history are all still saved — nothing is lost while you decide, and the career picks up exactly where it left off once Pro is active.
