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.

37' Jacob Murphy Goal +0.7
61' Raúl Jiménez Goal · scorer +0.5 · assist Antonee Robinson +0.2 +0.7
82' Rodrigo Muniz Goal · scorer +1.0 · assist Andreas Pereira +0.5 +1.5
Newcastle Expected (last two seasons) 2.0Own moments +0.7Opponent moments −2.0Time effect −0.7→ League points won 0
Fulham Expected (last two seasons) 0.8Own moments +2.2Opponent moments −0.6Time 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.
