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?

Using the full model over GW9 only (snapshot 28 October 2026, target GW9), the chip-value tool estimates these extra expected points:

Chip	Estimated gain (GW9)
Triple Captain	5.88 pts
Bench Boost	5.24 pts
Free Hit	7.90 pts

Largest estimate: Free Hit (7.90 pts), ahead of Triple Captain (5.88) and Bench Boost (5.24).

Context from the tool: the same estimated optimal timing is GW9 for all three chips, and all four chips are listed as available (until GW19, including the Wildcard). The figures assume the current frozen squad is used in every GW with no future transfers planned.

These are not guaranteed extra points. They are model projections — hypothetical estimates of additional expected points, not promises. Note also that a Free Hit changes and restores the squad, so any Free Hit opportunity needs transfer-plan review before acting.

For an actual chip decision (including whether any chip is recommended now), use the recommendation tool — these values alone are not an instruction to activate a chip.
