support@fchelper.com"No solution found" — start here
This is the most common report and it is usually not a fault. The solver only uses what you have allowed it to use, and the defaults are deliberately cautious.
Work through these in order:
- Check the card filters. Special, TOTW and evolved cards are excluded by default. A challenge needing a high rating often cannot be solved without them, and switching one on is usually the whole fix.
- Check the maximum rating cap. If it is set below what the challenge requires, no valid squad exists within your limits.
- Check your exclude list. Cards you protected earlier are still protected. The exclusion list opens from the club widget badge.
- Check the source. Club-only solving cannot fill a challenge your club genuinely cannot cover. Allowing the market shows what the missing cards would cost.
- Check whether the challenge is simply beyond your club. If a challenge needs an 88 rated squad and your best card is 84, no tool can solve it.
The tutorials walk through every option in order.
The squad looks wrong, or used a card I wanted
Exclude that specific player from the placed card on the pitch and solve again — only that slot changes, and the rest of the squad stays as it was. If it keeps happening with a category of card rather than one card, the card-type toggles are the setting to look at rather than the exclude list.
Nothing is ever submitted on your behalf, so a squad you do not like costs you nothing. Clear it or re-solve.
What to include in a bug report
Reports we can act on immediately tend to have these four things:
- Your browser and platform — Chrome or Firefox, desktop or Android.
- What you were doing, in one sentence.
- What you expected, and what happened instead.
- The name of the challenge or screen, if it was specific to one.
Screenshots help a great deal. Never send card details, passwords or your EA login — we will never ask for any of them, and no support request needs them.
Premium & billing
Payments are processed by Stripe. If a subscription doesn't activate after checkout, use the Restore option in the extension panel first — it re-links your subscription instantly. Still stuck? Email us with the approximate purchase time (never send card details).
Subscriptions are cancelled from the in-app subscription manager, and cancelling leaves the free tier working exactly as before — the fifty daily solves, price indicators and duplicate detection are not taken away.
Things that are working as intended
A few reports come in regularly that are not faults:
- It did not submit the challenge. That is deliberate. You always press Submit yourself.
- It left a slot alone. Slots you already filled, and slots the game has locked, are never touched.
- It used untradeable cards first. Also deliberate — those cards cannot be sold, so spending them costs you nothing you could have banked.
- Prices differ slightly from the market. Badges show the cheapest current listing, which moves constantly.
Installing and updating
Install from the Chrome Web Store or Firefox Add-ons. Updates arrive through the store automatically; there is nothing to download and nothing to keep in sync yourself.
If buttons stop appearing after an update, reload the Web App tab — the extension attaches when the page loads. On Firefox for Android the extension is installed like any other add-on and behaves the same as on desktop.
Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly do you reply?
Usually within a day. Discord is fastest because other players often answer before we do; email is better for anything involving billing or your account.
My subscription did not activate after paying. What now?
Use the Restore option in the extension panel first — it re-links an existing subscription immediately and resolves most cases. If it does not, email us with the approximate time of purchase. Never send card details.
Why does the solver say no solution was found?
Almost always because of the filters rather than a fault. Special, TOTW and evolved cards are excluded by default, the maximum rating cap may be set below what the challenge needs, or an excluded player is one the challenge required. Loosen one of those and try again.
Do I need an account to use FC Helper?
No. The free tier works with no account at all. An account only exists if you subscribe to premium, and that is handled through Stripe.
What happens to my data?
Your club data stays in your browser. The extension carries no analytics or telemetry and never transmits game data. The only external communication is with Stripe to verify a premium subscription.
