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.

23' Rasmus Højlund Goal · scorer +0.5 · assist Casemiro +0.2 +0.7
49' Alejandro Garnacho Goal · scorer +0.2 · assist Bruno Fernandes +0.1 +0.3
84' Alejandro Garnacho Goal · assist Scott McTominay 0.0

West Ham Expected (last two seasons) 0.8Own moments 0.0Opponent moments −0.7Time effect −0.1→ 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.
