Question

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

The get_chip_values call you ran was for the frozen snapshot taken on 2026‑10‑28 (snapshot id 20261028_212650_step17‑current…) and evaluated only Gameweek 9 (horizon = 1) using the full model.

The tool returned projected point‑gain values for the chips that directly add points in a single GW:

Chip	Projected gain (points)
Triple Captain	5.88
Bench Boost	5.24
Free Hit	7.90
Your XI (baseline)	45.61

It also listed the chips that are still available (Wildcard, Free‑Hit, Bench‑Boost, Triple‑Captain) but did not provide a “wildcard” gain. That is because a Wildcard does not give an immediate points boost – it simply allows unlimited transfers without a hit. The chip‑value tool only reports expected point gains for chips that directly affect the points total in the evaluated horizon (TC, BB, FH). Consequently, it cannot calculate a numeric expected‑points gain for playing your Wildcard in GW 9.

So, no – the chip‑value tool does not give a Wildcard point‑gain estimate; it only shows gains for the point‑adding chips. If you need advice on whether to use the Wildcard now, you would need to use the get_recommendation tool (which evaluates transfer plans and potential chip timing) rather than the chip‑value tool.
