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 does not calculate a Wildcard value. I ran it with model: full and horizon: 1 (GW9 only) against snapshot 20261028_212650_step17-current_3a1d9408-dirty (as of 28 Oct 2026, season 2026-27, target GW9), and it returned only three chip valuations:

Chip	GW9 gain (full model)	Best GW
Triple Captain	5.88	9
Bench Boost	5.24	9
Free Hit	7.90	9

Your XI baseline for GW9 is 45.61 expected points.

Although wildcard (until GW19) appears in your available chips, the tool has no Wildcard entry in either values or best_gws — the calculation is limited to Triple Captain, Bench Boost and Free Hit.

Nearest available read-across: the Free Hit figure of ~7.90 points for GW9 is the closest thing the tool can give you, but treat it carefully. Free Hit reverts the squad after the GW, so its gain comes entirely from one-off selection changes; a Wildcard's change is permanent, so the value would differ (usually lower in the first week, since you keep the squad rather than reverting it). The tool's own assumptions also note it "uses the current frozen squad in every GW; future transfers are not planned" — so it isn't modelling a WC at all.

Context on your squad ([team name], bank £1.1m, 3 free transfers): Calafiori is doubtful with a hip injury (75% chance of playing) and João Pedro has a thigh injury with an unknown return date, so there are real reasons you might be considering a Wildcard — but the numbers for it have to come from a transfer recommendation rather than this tool.

Want me to pull the full-model transfer recommendation for GW9 (or a longer horizon) so we can assess whether a Wildcard looks justified before the 31 Oct 11:00 deadline?
