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?

GW9 only, full model (snapshot 28 Oct 2026, target GW9):

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

For context, the same run puts your current XI at 45.61 estimated points in GW9.

Largest estimate: Free Hit, at about 7.9 extra points — ahead of Triple Captain (5.88) and Bench Boost (5.24).

Are they guaranteed? No. These are hypothetical model estimates of extra expected points, not promises. They assume your squad stays exactly as it is now, with no future transfers planned, and the Free Hit figure would change the squad for one week before restoring it, so it needs transfer-plan review. All four chips are listed as available until GW19 in this snapshot, but check availability before acting.

Chip gains are separate from your starting-XI expected points and from any transfer recommendation, and gains from different chips should not be added together for the same gameweek. I haven't run the transfer/line-up optimiser here — say the word and I'll get that recommendation.
