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.

2' Danny Welbeck Goal +0.6
27' Luis Díaz Goal +0.7

Liverpool Expected (last two seasons) 2.2Own moments +1.7Opponent moments −0.6Time effect −0.3→ League points won 3
Brighton Expected (last two seasons) 0.7Own moments +0.6Opponent moments −1.4Time 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.
