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 9943ffd4

GW9 chip-value estimates (full model) — snapshot as of 28 October 2026, target GW9:

Chip	Estimated gain
Free Hit	+7.9
Triple Captain	+5.9
Bench Boost	+5.2

Largest estimate: Free Hit, at roughly 7.9 extra expected points, ahead of Triple Captain (5.9) and Bench Boost (5.2). For context, your projected starting-XI return for GW9 is 45.6 points.

Are they guaranteed? No. These are model projections — hypothetical extra expected points, not guaranteed returns. They are also separate from the starting-XI EP and must not be added together (you'd only play one chip in a given GW). All four chips, including these three, show as available (until GW19), and the Free Hit projection assumes a transfer-plan review since it changes and then restores the squad.
