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?

No — the chip-value tool cannot put a points figure on a Wildcard.

Snapshot: frozen at 28 October 2026, target GW9 (2026-27 season), full model, 1-GW horizon (GW9 only).

What the tool returned for GW9

Chip	Estimated extra points
Triple Captain	5.88
Bench Boost	5.24
Free Hit	7.90
Wildcard	not calculated

Baseline starting-XI estimate is 45.61 points. best_gws also only ranks Triple Captain, Bench Boost and Free Hit, all pointing at GW9.

Why Wildcard is missing

The tool's own assumptions explain it: it uses the current frozen squad in every gameweek and does not plan future transfers. That works for chips that only amplify the existing XI, but aWildcard's whole value comes from rebuilding the squad — without a transfer plan there's nothing to compare against. So the tool reports no Wildcard figure rather than a zero.

Availability: the Wildcard is listed as available until GW19, alongside Free Hit, Bench Boost and Triple Captain (all until GW19). Availability is not the issue — valuation is.

Two caveats. These are hypothetical estimates based on the current squad and current player availability, not guarantees, and the GW9 chip figures are independent — you cannot add the Triple Captain, Bench Boost and Free Hit gains together in the same gameweek. For a Wildcard decision you'd need a squad-rebuild comparison, which this tool doesn't produce; the recommendation tool is the relevant one there, and it typically reports Wildcard as unassessed.
