FN xPts — what each moment was worth

How much each moment changed that team's expected points (win 3, draw 1). A goal's value is credited 70% to the scorer and 30% to the assist.

48' Anthony Elanga Goal · scorer +0.7 · assist Taiwo Awoniyi +0.3 +1.0
Chelsea Expected (last two seasons) 2.2Own moments 0.0Opponent moments −0.9Time effect −1.3→ League points won 0
Nottingham Forest Expected (last two seasons) 0.6Own moments +1.0Opponent moments 0.0Time effect +1.4→ League points won 3

Expected points don't add up to a fixed total (a draw is 1 + 1), so an opponent's moment isn't simply the mirror of your loss. "Time effect" is the change as the clock runs down on a lead or a chase, and isn't credited to any player.
