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?

completed trace 10f8860f

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

Triple Captain: ~5.9
Bench Boost: ~5.2
Free Hit: ~7.9

Largest estimate: Free Hit, at ~7.9 extra expected points.

Are they guaranteed? No. These are hypothetical model estimates of extra expected points, not guarantees. They assume your current frozen squad is used in every GW with no future transfers planned, and they are separate from your starting-XI expected points (your GW9 XI projects to ~45.6 points). Note also that Free Hit changes and then restores your squad, so realising that projected gain would need a transfer-plan review. All three chips show as available until GW19 in this snapshot, but you should check availability before playing any chip.
