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.

Aston Villa Expected (last two seasons) 2.1Own moments +1.6Opponent moments −1.0Time effect +0.3→ League points won 3
Celtic Expected (no record yet, starting estimate) 0.7Own moments +0.7Opponent moments −1.2Time effect −0.2→ League points won 0

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.
