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.

36' Álex Remiro Red card −0.4
76' Luis Rioja Pen goal +1.5
90+6' Martín Zubimendi Goal · scorer +0.7 · assist Mikel Merino +0.3 +1.0
Real Sociedad Expected (last two seasons) 2.3Own moments +0.6Opponent moments −1.0Time effect −0.9→ League points won 1
Alaves Expected (last two seasons) 0.5Own moments +1.5Opponent moments −1.6Time effect +0.6→ 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.
