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.

24' Martin Ødegaard Goal · scorer +0.3 · assist Kai Havertz +0.1 +0.4
44' Daiki Hashioka Own goal −0.2
Arsenal Expected (last two seasons) 2.4Own moments +0.4Opponent moments +0.2Time effect 0.0→ League points won 3
Luton Expected (last two seasons) 0.5Own moments −0.2Opponent moments −0.3Time effect 0.0→ 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.
