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.

Using the frozen snapshot dated 28 October 2026 (target GW9, season 2026-27, full model, horizon 1), the tool returned these estimated gains for GW9 only:

Free Hit: +7.9 EP
Triple Captain: +5.9 EP
Bench Boost: +5.2 EP
Wildcard: no value returned

Your Wildcard is listed as available (until GW19), but the tool simply doesn't estimate a gain for it. That makes sense conceptually: a Wildcard's value depends entirely on which 15 players you'd bring in, and this tool evaluates chips against your current frozen squad — it doesn't plan a new squad. The other chips (TC, BB, FH) keep your squad intact, so their gains can be modelled directly.

If you want to assess whether a Wildcard is worthwhile, the transfer recommendation tool (run over a multi-GW horizon) would be the better starting point — it can show the projected upside from transfers, which is effectively what a Wildcard unlocks. Just say the word.
