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.

87' Cameron Archer Goal · scorer +1.0 · assist Gustavo Hamer +0.5 +1.5
90+7' Nicolò Zaniolo Goal · scorer +0.8 · assist Douglas Luiz +0.3 +1.1
Aston Villa Expected (last two seasons) 2.4Own moments +1.1Opponent moments −1.1Time effect −1.4→ League points won 1
Sheffield Utd Expected (last two seasons) 0.5Own moments +1.5Opponent moments −1.9Time effect +0.9→ League points won 1

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.
