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?

Chip-value estimates — GW9 only, full model (snapshot dated 28 Oct 2026):

Chip	Estimated gain
Free Hit	7.9 extra expected points
Triple Captain	5.9
Bench Boost	5.2

Largest estimate: Free Hit, at roughly 7.9 extra expected points — ahead of Triple Captain (5.9) and Bench Boost (5.2).

Are they guaranteed? No. These are model-based estimates of hypothetical extra expected points, not guaranteed returns. Real points depend on actual performances.

A few notes:

All three chips (plus Wildcard) are currently available to you, usable until GW19.
These gains are separate from your starting XI's projected points (45.6 EP for GW9) and shouldn't be added together across multiple chips in one GW.
Free Hit temporarily changes and then restores your squad, so acting on this projected opportunity would need a review of the transfer plan it implies.
GW9 is flagged as the best GW for all three chips within this assessment.
