Question

Check the chip-value tool using the full model for GW9 only. Can it calculate the expected points gain from playing my Wildcard?

No — for GW9 the chip-value tool did not calculate a Wildcard gain. Here is what it returned (snapshot dated 2026-10-28, target GW9, full model):

Wildcard: not assessed — no value was returned for it, even though it is listed as available (until GW19).
Triple Captain: +5.88 expected points (best GW: 9)
Bench Boost: +5.24 expected points (best GW: 9)
Free Hit: +7.90 expected points (best GW: 9)
Your starting XI expected points for GW9: 45.61

The reason the Wildcard is missing: the tool values chips using your current frozen squad in every GW and does not plan future transfers. A Wildcard's benefit comes entirely from the squad rebuild it enables, so without a transfer plan there is nothing to measure — unlike Triple Captain, Bench Boost and Free Hit, which can be valued against your existing squad.

These chip figures are hypothetical estimates of extra expected points, separate from your starting XI's expected points. If you want a Wildcard assessment, it would need a transfer-plan review rather than this tool alone.
