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.

33' Alex Suárez Own goal −0.7
45+1' Sheraldo Becker Goal · scorer +0.2 · assist Brais Méndez +0.1 +0.3
Real Sociedad Expected (last two seasons) 1.8Own moments +0.3Opponent moments +0.9Time effect 0.0→ League points won 3
Las Palmas Expected (last two seasons) 0.9Own moments −0.7Opponent moments −0.2Time 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.
