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.

15' Matt Doherty Own goal −0.7
72' Matheus Cunha Goal · scorer +0.7 · assist Gonçalo Guedes +0.3 +1.0

Ipswich Expected (last two seasons) 1.2Own moments +1.9Opponent moments −0.5Time effect +0.4→ League points won 3

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.
