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.

10' Gaëtan Laborde Pen goal +0.8
57' Facundo Medina Red card −0.1
64' Jonathan Clauss Goal · assist Mohamed-Ali Cho +0.2
Nice Expected (last two seasons) 1.5Own moments +1.0Opponent moments +0.2Time effect +0.3→ League points won 3
Lens Expected (last two seasons) 1.2Own moments −0.1Opponent moments −0.8Time effect −0.3→ 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.
