I haven't received a definite answer to this question: Does Phase One make a digital back that would fit and work on this camera? All of the Phase One literature and websites say they fit the 500 series Hasselblads. Does that include the 2000 FC?
Now you have: No.
The Hassy V mount phase backs will work with any of the 500 series bodies but not the 200/2000 series bodies. Technically speaking it "works" but would require a separate wakeup button to be pushed prior to every exposure making it not worth discussing.
The 200/2000 series lenses, including the infamous 110/2 along with 500 series lenses, can be used on any of the Mamiya or Phase One 645 bodies. They gain autofocus confirmation but require manual stop down.
My suggestion on wading into the waters of medium format digital is always the same. Find what works for you first and then find a good deal on it from someone/somewhere you trust. Finding a good deal and then evaluating whether it works for you is, in my opinion the easiest/most-common mistake you can make.
