Question

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

No — the chip-value tool does not return a Wildcard gain estimate.

Using the full model for GW9 only (snapshot dated 28 October 2026, target GW9, season 2026-27), the tool returned hypothetical expected-points gains for three chips:

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

(For reference, your current starting XI projects at 45.6 EP for GW9.)

Your Wildcard is listed as available (until GW19), but no gain figure is calculated for it. This is likely because a Wildcard's value depends entirely on which 15 players you'd select — the tool values chips against your current frozen squad and explicitly notes that future transfers are not planned, so it cannot quantify a squad overhaul.

If you want a sense of whether a Wildcard is worthwhile, I could run a transfer recommendation over a longer horizon to see how much your current squad is projected to gain from transfers — that would indicate how much headroom a full rebuild might offer.
