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?

completed trace f0098d11

Chip-value estimates for GW9 (full model) — snapshot dated 28 Oct 2026, target GW9:

Chip	Estimated gain (EP)
Free Hit	~7.9
Triple Captain	~5.9
Bench Boost	~5.2

Largest estimate: Free Hit, at roughly 7.9 expected points. For reference, your starting XI's expected points for GW9 are ~45.6, and these chip gains are extra expected points on top of that.

Are they guaranteed? No. These are hypothetical model estimates, not guarantees — actual returns depend on how players perform. A few caveats:

All three chips (plus Wildcard) are currently available until GW19, and GW9 is the model's preferred window for each within this one-GW horizon.
Free Hit temporarily changes and then restores your squad, so its projected gain assumes a specific transfer plan that would need reviewing before use.
The estimates assume your current frozen squad with no future transfers planned.
