Answer

Question

Using the full model for GW9 only, what gains does the chip-value tool estimate for Triple Captain, Bench Boost and Free Hit? Which has the largest estimate? Are these guaranteed extra points?

Snapshot: 28 October 2026 (frozen), target GW9 — full model, GW9 only

Estimated chip gains (extra expected points, hypothetical):

Chip	Estimated gain
Triple Captain	+5.88
Bench Boost	+5.24
Free Hit	+7.90

Largest estimate: Free Hit (+7.90), ahead of Triple Captain and then Bench Boost. All four chips are listed as available (until GW19).

Are these guaranteed? No. These are model estimates of extra expected points, not promised returns. Points only materialise if the underlying players deliver minutes, goals, assists and clean sheets. Two further caveats: the values assume the current frozen squad in every gameweek with no future transfers planned, and Free Hit changes and restores your squad, so a Free Hit opportunity would need transfer-plan review before acting on it. Chip gains are separate from starting-XI expected points and no chips are activated by this output.
