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?

GW9 chip estimates — full model (snapshot 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 expected points.

Are they guaranteed? No. These are hypothetical model-based estimates of extra expected points, not guaranteed returns. They assume your current frozen squad and its projected availability, and actual scores will depend on what really happens in GW9.

Note: the tool lists all four chips as available until GW19, so these three options are all live choices for GW9.
