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?

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

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

Largest estimate: Free Hit, at roughly 7.9 extra expected points. Note that Free Hit replaces your squad for one GW and then restores it, so acting on this would need a proper transfer-plan review rather than being a straightforward activation.

Guaranteed? No. These are model projections — hypothetical expected gains based on the frozen squad and current availability assumptions, not certainties. Actual returns depend on what happens on the pitch. They're also separate from your starting XI's projected points (~45.6 for GW9), and you shouldn't stack gains from multiple chips in the same GW.

All four chips (Wildcard, Free Hit, Bench Boost, Triple Captain) are shown as available until GW19, so there's no deadline pressure this week.
