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.

13' Rúben Dias Own goal −0.8
58' Julián Álvarez Goal +1.0
66' Hee-Chan Hwang Goal · scorer +0.9 · assist Matheus Cunha +0.4 +1.3
Wolves Expected (last two seasons) 0.5Own moments +1.3Opponent moments −0.5Time effect +1.7→ League points won 3
Manchester City Expected (last two seasons) 2.3Own moments +0.2Opponent moments −1.1Time effect −1.4→ League points won 0

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.
