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?

completed trace 877d9988

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

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

Free Hit has the largest estimate at 7.90 extra points, ahead of Triple Captain (5.88) and Bench Boost (5.24). All four chips are listed as available until GW19, and the tool flags GW9 as the best gameweek for each of these three.

No, these are not guaranteed extra points. They are hypothetical model estimates based on your current frozen squad, assuming no future transfers are planned. Actual returns will vary with selection, minutes, injuries and match outcomes.

Two further caveats:

The Free Hit figure assumes the chip is simply applied to the current squad in that gameweek; Free Hit actually changes and then restores your squad, so that projected opportunity would need transfer-plan review before acting.
These values don't indicate a recommended chip play — chip timing advice should come from the recommendation tool.
