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 b456fac0No — for GW9 only (snapshot dated 28 October 2026, target GW9, full model), the chip-value tool did not return a Wildcard value, so it cannot calculate the expected points gain from playing your Wildcard.
What the tool did return for GW9:
- Starting XI expected points: 45.61
- Triple Captain: +5.88
- Bench Boost: +5.24
- Free Hit: +7.90
Your Wildcard is listed as available (until GW19), but no projected gain was produced for it. This is consistent with the tool's assumptions: it values chips using the current frozen squad without planning future transfers, whereas a Wildcard's value depends entirely on which transfers you would make with it — so it needs a transfer-plan review rather than a simple chip-value calculation.
If you want to explore a Wildcard, I can run a transfer recommendation to see what squad changes and expected gains a Wildcard-style rebuild would suggest. All figures above are model estimates, not guarantees.
