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.

38' Kai Havertz Goal · scorer +0.4 · assist Bukayo Saka +0.2 +0.6
49' Declan Rice Red card −0.3
58' João Pedro Goal +0.8
Arsenal Expected (last two seasons) 2.1Own moments +0.3Opponent moments −1.0Time effect −0.4→ League points won 1
Brighton Expected (last two seasons) 0.7Own moments +0.8Opponent moments −0.3Time effect −0.2→ League points won 1

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.
