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.

35' Raúl Jiménez Goal · scorer +0.6 · assist Alex Iwobi +0.3 +0.9
41' Jan Paul van Hecke Goal · scorer +0.6 · assist Yasin Ayari +0.2 +0.8
90+8' João Pedro Pen goal +1.9
Brighton Expected (last two seasons) 1.6Own moments +2.7Opponent moments −0.8Time effect −0.5→ League points won 3
Fulham Expected (last two seasons) 1.2Own moments +0.9Opponent moments −1.9Time effect −0.2→ 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.
