I'd say no, it's not. The FRCS has a lot more info since it's double the pages of the Player's Guide. However, the Player's Guide has the updates to the rules for 3.5e plus a few other lore related items like the details of the Return of the Archwizards trilogy and book 1 to 3 of the Spider Queen series and then a little more about the new cosmology.
Basically most of the Player's Guide is just updates for 3.5e while the FRCS has pages and pages of lore.
At most you'll likely want both -- if only because of the "Campaign Journal" section in the PGtF which updates FR source material up to the end of the RotAW trilogy and Condemnation of the WotSQ series.
The expanded planar cosmology section is also a treat, especially if you make use of the revised Great Tree planar structure, as originally detailed in the FRCS 3e, in your campaigns.

Yes, you see they brought out 3rd edition and then a bit later changed to 3.5 version. So when they made the Players Guide to Faerun the updated it instead of putting out another FRCS book. |

Is that a book? |

The information can probably be used for every edition, the stats only for 3rd and 3.5. 3.5 may need some adjustments tho, which are found in the Player's Guide to Faerūn. |
