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?

completed trace 2934e873

Using the full model on the frozen snapshot (as of 28 October 2026, target GW9), the chip-value tool estimates the following GW9 gains for your squad:

Chip	Estimated GW9 gain
Triple Captain	+5.88
Bench Boost	+5.24
Free Hit	+7.90

Largest estimate: Free Hit, at +7.90 expected points.

Are these guaranteed? No. These are hypothetical model estimates of extra expected points, not guarantees. A few caveats:

The values assume your current frozen squad is used in every GW, with no future transfers planned.
Free Hit changes and then restores your squad, so its projected opportunity would need a transfer-plan review before acting on it.
Chip gains are extra expected points on top of your starting XI's expected points (your XI projects 45.61 for GW9) — they are separate from the transfer objective and should not be added together across chips in the same GW.

Chip timing also assumes the stated squad and availability, so treat any future chip dates as provisional.
