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.

40' Axel Tuanzebe Red card −0.3
56' Liam Delap Goal · scorer +0.6 · assist Omari Hutchinson +0.3 +0.9
69' Ollie Watkins Goal +1.0
Aston Villa Expected (last two seasons) 2.1Own moments +1.0Opponent moments −0.5Time effect −1.6→ League points won 1
Ipswich Expected (last two seasons) 0.7Own moments +0.6Opponent moments −1.1Time effect +0.8→ League points won 1

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.
