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.

32' Fabian Schär Goal · scorer +0.6 · assist Kieran Trippier +0.2 +0.8
36' Fabian Schär Goal +0.6
52' Álex Moreno Own goal −0.2
71' Ollie Watkins Goal · assist Leon Bailey +0.1
Aston Villa Expected (last two seasons) 1.6Own moments −0.1Opponent moments −1.3Time effect −0.2→ League points won 0
Newcastle Expected (last two seasons) 1.1Own moments +1.4Opponent moments +0.1Time effect +0.4→ League points won 3

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.
