FP analysis is a measure for the "amount of functionality" not complexity. Maybe in relation to, e.g., the number of statements (statements/FP) it could make sense.

Number of function points is, given implementation language, strongly correlated with lines of code. Lines of code is, in turn, strongly correlated with all other complexity measures.

In other words, function point count is a measure of complexity.
