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.

22' Roberto Piccoli Goal · scorer +0.6 · assist Tommaso Augello +0.2 +0.8
48' Riccardo Orsolini Pen goal +1.0
56' Riccardo Orsolini Goal · scorer +0.7 · assist Nicolò Cambiaghi +0.3 +1.0
Bologna Expected (last two seasons) 2.2Own moments +2.0Opponent moments −0.9Time effect −0.3→ League points won 3
Cagliari Expected (last two seasons) 0.5Own moments +0.8Opponent moments −1.7Time effect +0.4→ 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.
