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?

Using the full model for GW9 only (snapshot frozen 28 October 2026, season 2026-27), the chip-value tool estimates:

Free Hit: 7.9 extra expected points — the largest estimate
Triple Captain: 5.9 extra expected points
Bench Boost: 5.2 extra expected points

All three chips are currently listed as available (until GW19), and GW9 is the best-rated GW for each over the horizon assessed.

Are these guaranteed? No. These are hypothetical expected-point estimates, not guarantees. They assume the current frozen squad with no future transfers planned, and they are extra gains separate from your starting XI's baseline projection (45.6 EP). The Free Hit figure in particular should be treated cautiously: a Free Hit changes and then restores your squad, so realising that projected value would need a transfer-plan review rather than being automatic.
