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?

Using the full model on the frozen snapshot (as of 28 October 2026, target GW9), the chip-value tool estimates these extra expected points for GW9 only:

Chip	Estimated gain
Triple Captain	+5.88
Bench Boost	+5.24
Free Hit	+7.90

Free Hit has the largest estimate (+7.90), ahead of Triple Captain (+5.88) and Bench Boost (+5.24).

No, these are not guaranteed extra points. They are hypothetical model estimates of additional expected points over your starting XI's projection (45.6 for GW9), based on the current frozen squad and assuming no future transfers are planned. Actual returns can differ. Also note that Free Hit changes and then restores your squad, so a projected opportunity like this would need a transfer-plan review before acting on it.
