Question

Check the chip-value tool using the full model for GW9 only. Can it calculate the expected points gain from playing my Wildcard?

Short answer: no. The tool ran successfully (snapshot dated 28 Oct 2026, target GW9, full model), but it does not produce an expected-points gain for the Wildcard. Your Wildcard is listed as available (until GW19), yet it is left unassessed — the tool only values the other three chips.

For GW9, the full model returned these hypothetical gains over your current squad's starting XI (projected at ~45.6 EP):

Free Hit: +7.9 EP
Triple Captain: +5.9 EP
Bench Boost: +5.2 EP

These are estimates of extra expected points on top of the starting XI, not guarantees, and they shouldn't be added together for the same GW.

Why the Wildcard isn't valued: the tool's assumptions state it uses the current frozen squad in every GW with no future transfers planned. A Wildcard's value comes from rebuilding the entire squad, which sits outside that method — so the tool simply doesn't estimate it. If you want Wildcard guidance, the recommendation tool can assess transfer strategy, but note that it also treats Wildcard as unassessed in its chip output.
