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.

65' Calvin Bassey Goal · scorer +0.8 · assist Timothy Castagne +0.4 +1.2

Fulham Expected (last two seasons) 0.8Own moments +3.1Opponent moments −1.6Time effect +0.7→ 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.
