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?

Snapshot: 28 Oct 2026, target GW9 — full model, 1-GW horizon

Chip	Estimated gain (GW9)
Triple Captain	+5.88 pts
Bench Boost	+5.24 pts
Free Hit	+7.90 pts

Largest estimate: Free Hit (+7.90). All three chips are listed as available (each usable until GW19).

Context: the chip gains are extra expected points on top of the starting-XI projection of 45.61 pts, and they are separate from any transfer objective. These are hypothetical estimates based on the current frozen squad, with no future transfers planned.

No — these are not guaranteed extra points. They are model projections, not certainties, and carry the usual uncertainty of minutes, rotation, form and results. Also note that Free Hit temporarily replaces and then restores your squad, so a projected Free Hit opportunity should be reviewed alongside a transfer plan before acting on it. The valuations also assume equal chip values are broken by taking the earliest gameweek.

Recommendations here don't execute transfers or activate chips — if you want a formal verdict on whether to play any of them, ask for a recommendation.
