Answer

Question

Check the chip-value tool using the full model for GW9 only. Can it calculate the expected points gain from playing my Wildcard?

Short answer: no. The chip-value tool does not produce an expected-points gain for the Wildcard.

Running it against the frozen snapshot (created 28 October 2026, target GW9) with the full model and a one-GW horizon returned hypothetical gains for only three chips:

Chip	Estimated GW9 gain
Free Hit	+7.9 pts
Triple Captain	+5.9 pts
Bench Boost	+5.2 pts

Wildcard is unassessed — it simply isn't included in the output. The tool's stated assumptions explain why: it evaluates your current frozen squad in every GW and does not plan transfers. A Wildcard's value comes from rebuilding the entire 15-man squad, which is outside what this tool models, so it cannot quantify that gain.

A couple of other notes from the result:

The values above are hypothetical estimates, not guarantees, and they're extra points on top of your starting-XI projection (45.6 EP for GW9) — they shouldn't be added together for the same GW.
Although the tool lists values for chips regardless of availability, all four of your chips (Wildcard, Free Hit, Bench Boost, Triple Captain) are in fact still available until GW19.

If you want a steer on whether your squad needs a Wildcard, the transfer-recommendation tool can show the projected gain from ordinary transfers first — a low return there might suggest the squad is already in reasonable shape, or vice versa. Would you like me to run that?
