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.

43' Myles Lewis-Skelly Red card −0.4
70' João Gomes Red card −0.2
74' Riccardo Calafiori Goal +1.2
Wolves Expected (last two seasons) 0.7Own moments −0.2Opponent moments −0.4Time effect −0.1→ League points won 0
Arsenal Expected (last two seasons) 2.1Own moments +0.8Opponent moments +0.3Time effect −0.2→ 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.
