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.

52' Rayan Aït Nouri Goal · scorer +0.7 · assist Toti Gomes +0.3 +1.0
67' Tom Cairney Own goal −0.3
90+8' Alex Iwobi Goal · assist Armando Broja 0.0
Wolves Expected (last two seasons) 1.4Own moments +1.0Opponent moments +0.4Time effect +0.2→ League points won 3
Fulham Expected (last two seasons) 1.3Own moments −0.3Opponent moments −0.8Time effect −0.2→ 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.
