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.

26' Curtis Jones Red card −0.5
36' Heung-min Son Goal · scorer +0.5 · assist Richarlison +0.2 +0.7
45+4' Cody Gakpo Goal · scorer +0.4 · assist Virgil van Dijk +0.2 +0.6

Liverpool Expected (last two seasons) 1.4Own moments −1.1Opponent moments −0.6Time effect +0.3→ 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.
