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.

45+1' James McAtee Goal · scorer +0.6 · assist Gustavo Hamer +0.3 +0.9
Sheffield Utd Expected (last two seasons) 1.0Own moments +0.9Opponent moments 0.0Time effect +1.1→ League points won 3
Brentford Expected (last two seasons) 1.8Own moments 0.0Opponent moments −0.9Time effect −0.9→ 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.
