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.

64' Nicolás Domínguez Goal · scorer +0.8 · assist Gonzalo Montiel +0.3 +1.1
78' Marcus Rashford Goal · scorer +0.6 · assist Alejandro Garnacho +0.3 +0.9

Nottingham Forest Expected (last two seasons) 1.6Own moments +2.5Opponent moments −1.3Time effect +0.2→ League points won 3
Manchester United Expected (last two seasons) 1.1Own moments +0.9Opponent moments −1.7Time 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.
