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?

Snapshot: 28 October 2026, target GW9, full model, horizon 1 (GW9 only)

Estimated chip gains for GW9 (extra expected points on top of your starting-XI projection of 45.6):

Chip	Estimated gain
Free Hit	+7.9
Triple Captain	+5.9
Bench Boost	+5.2

Free Hit has the largest estimate for GW9. All three chips are shown as available (until GW19).

No — these are not guaranteed. They are model-based estimates of extra expected points, not certainties, and actual returns depend on how players perform. A few caveats from the tool:

Values assume the current frozen squad with no future transfers planned.
Figures are hypothetical estimates even if a chip were unavailable.
Free Hit temporarily changes and then restores your squad, so treating this as a real opportunity would need a transfer-plan review rather than being taken at face value.
