Question

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

No — for GW9 only, using the full model, the chip-value tool did not return a Wildcard gain. It only calculated values for the other chips (snapshot dated 2026-10-28, target GW9, season 2026-27):

Triple Captain: +5.88 expected points
Bench Boost: +5.24 expected points
Free Hit: +7.90 expected points
Starting XI expected points (baseline): 45.61

The Wildcard is listed among your available chips (until GW19), but the tool provides no expected-points gain for it in this result. This is consistent with how Wildcard works: it changes your squad for the rest of the season rather than a single GW, so its value depends on a full transfer-plan review rather than a one-GW calculation. The tool also notes these are hypothetical estimates that assume your current frozen squad with no future transfers planned.

If you want, I can run the recommendation tool to review a Wildcard-style transfer plan, or check chip values over a longer horizon.
