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. On the frozen snapshot dated 28 October 2026 (target GW9, full model), the chip-value tool does not return a Wildcard gain — your Wildcard is listed as available (until GW19), but no expected-points value is calculated for it.

What it did return for GW9:

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

(Your starting XI is projected at 45.61 points that GW; the chip figures are separate hypothetical gains, not guarantees.)

The reason the tool can't value the Wildcard is implied by its own assumptions: it values chips using your current frozen squad in every GW and does not plan future transfers. A Wildcard's value depends entirely on how you would restructure the squad, so a gain estimate would require a transfer-plan review that this tool does not perform. The Free Hit figure carries a similar caveat — it changes and then restores your squad, so acting on that projection would also need a transfer-plan review.
