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?

Using the full model on the frozen snapshot (as of 28 October 2026, target GW9), the chip-value tool estimates these extra expected points for GW9 only:

Chip	Estimated gain (GW9)
Triple Captain	5.88
Bench Boost	5.24
Free Hit	7.90

Largest estimate: Free Hit, at 7.90 points — ahead of Triple Captain (5.88) and Bench Boost (5.24).

Are these guaranteed? No. These are hypothetical model estimates, not guaranteed extra points. Key caveats from the tool:

The values assume your current frozen squad in every GW, with no future transfers planned.
Free Hit changes and then restores your squad, so its projected opportunity would need a transfer-plan review before acting on it.
Chip timing assumes the stated squad and availability, so treat any future chip dates as provisional.

In short: Free Hit has the largest GW9 estimate, but all three figures are projections that could differ from actual results.
