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.

51' Ollie Watkins Goal · scorer +0.8 · assist Morgan Rogers +0.3 +1.1
Everton Expected (last two seasons) 1.4Own moments 0.0Opponent moments −0.9Time effect −0.5→ League points won 0
Aston Villa Expected (last two seasons) 1.3Own moments +1.1Opponent moments 0.0Time effect +0.6→ 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.
