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?

Snapshot: 28 October 2026, target GW9 — full model, one-gameweek horizon

Chip	Estimated extra points (GW9)
Triple Captain	5.88
Bench Boost	5.24
Free Hit	7.90

Free Hit has the largest estimate at about 7.9 extra points, ahead of Triple Captain (5.88) and Bench Boost (5.24).

Context and caveats:

The baseline "your XI" estimate in the same result is 45.61 points. The chip figures are additional expected points on top of that, not totals.
These are model projections, not guaranteed extra points. They assume the current frozen squad is kept in every gameweek with no future transfers planned, and they are hypothetical estimates even where a chip is unavailable.
All four chips are listed as available until GW19 in this snapshot, including the Wildcard.
Free Hit changes and then restores the squad, so its 7.9-point projection would need transfer-plan review before you act on it.
Nothing here activates a chip; this is estimate-only information.
