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?

GW9 chip estimates (full model, snapshot frozen 28 Oct 2026, target GW9)

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

Your current XI's estimate for GW9 is 45.61 points; chip gains are additional to that and separate from any transfer objective.

Largest estimate: Free Hit, at about 7.9 extra points. Triple Captain is second (5.88) and Bench Boost third (5.24). All three are flagged as best in GW9 in this horizon.

Are they guaranteed? No. These are hypothetical model estimates, not promises — they assume your current frozen squad in every gameweek with no future transfers planned, and the optimiser's default bench weight. Actual returns depend on minutes, rotation, injuries and match events. Free Hit also changes and then restores your squad, so a projected Free Hit opportunity needs transfer-plan review before acting on it.

The Wildcard is not assessed here — only Triple Captain, Bench Boost and Free Hit have estimates. All four chips are listed as available (until GW19), but check availability in your FPL account before using one. These figures are advice only; nothing is activated or executed.
