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.

19' Mohamed Bamba Goal · scorer +0.6 · assist Imrân Louza +0.3 +0.9
22' Didier Lamkel Zé Goal · scorer +0.6 · assist Georges Mikautadze +0.2 +0.8
58' Panos Katseris Goal +1.2
Metz Expected (last two seasons) 1.5Own moments +0.8Opponent moments −1.7Time effect −0.6→ League points won 0
Lorient Expected (last two seasons) 1.2Own moments +2.1Opponent moments −0.9Time effect +0.6→ 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.
