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.

52' Lisandro Martínez Goal · scorer +0.7 · assist Bruno Fernandes +0.3 +1.0
59' Cody Gakpo Goal · scorer +0.7 · assist Alexis Mac Allister +0.3 +1.0
70' Mohamed Salah Pen goal +1.1

Manchester United Expected (last two seasons) 0.6Own moments +1.8Opponent moments −1.8Time effect +0.4→ 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.
