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?

Chip-value estimates for GW9 (full model, snapshot dated 28 Oct 2026, target GW9):

Chip	Estimated gain
Free Hit	+7.9 pts
Triple Captain	+5.9 pts
Bench Boost	+5.2 pts

Largest estimate: Free Hit, at roughly 7.9 extra expected points — ahead of Triple Captain (5.9) and Bench Boost (5.2). All three chips are currently available (until GW19), and GW9 is the model's preferred week for each.

Are they guaranteed? No. These are hypothetical model projections, not certainties — actual returns depend on what happens on the pitch. A few caveats:

The gains are extra expected points on top of your starting XI's projection (45.6 EP for GW9); they shouldn't be added together, as only one chip can be used per GW.
Free Hit is a special case: it temporarily changes and then restores your squad, so its projected gain assumes a specific set of temporary transfers that would need proper review before committing.
The estimates assume your current frozen squad with no future transfers planned.
