Question
Check the chip-value tool using the full model for GW9 only. Can it calculate the expected points gain from playing my Wildcard?
Answer
completed trace f62f224cShort answer: no. Running the chip-value tool with the full model over GW9 only (snapshot 2026-10-28, target GW9, 2026‑27 season) returned values for three chips — but the Wildcard was unassessed, with no expected-points gain provided.
What the tool did return for GW9:
| Item | Value |
|---|---|
| Your XI (baseline EP) | 45.6 |
| Triple Captain gain | +5.9 |
| Bench Boost gain | +5.2 |
| Free Hit gain | +7.9 |
Two relevant observations:
- The tool's stated assumption is that it evaluates chips against the current frozen squad with no future transfers planned. That works for Triple Captain, Bench Boost and Free Hit, but a Wildcard's value depends entirely on which new squad would be built — hence no gain estimate.
- The gain figures are hypothetical extra expected points, separate from the starting-XI EP, and cannot be summed across chips in the same GW.
Note also that because the horizon was GW9 only, the "best GW" verdicts (all chips favouring GW9) simply reflect that single-GW window, not a comparison across future gameweeks.
If you'd like, I can pull a transfer recommendation to see whether a broader squad overhaul is being suggested as an alternative route to assessing the Wildcard's worth.
