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.

41' Mattia Zaccagni Goal · scorer +0.6 · assist Elseid Hysaj +0.2 +0.8
56' Roberto Piccoli Goal · scorer +0.5 · assist Nicolas Viola +0.2 +0.7
64' Valentín Castellanos Goal · scorer +0.8 · assist Mattia Zaccagni +0.3 +1.1
Cagliari Expected (last two seasons) 0.9Own moments +0.7Opponent moments −1.5Time effect −0.1→ League points won 0
Lazio Expected (last two seasons) 1.8Own moments +1.9Opponent moments −1.0Time effect +0.3→ 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.
