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.

14' Jack Stephens Goal · scorer +0.5 · assist Ryan Manning +0.2 +0.7
72' Emile Smith Rowe Goal · scorer +0.7 · assist Alex Iwobi +0.3 +1.0
90+2' Ryan Sessegnon Goal · scorer +1.3 · assist Adama Traoré +0.6 +1.9
Southampton Expected (last two seasons) 0.7Own moments +0.7Opponent moments −2.3Time effect +0.9→ League points won 0
Fulham Expected (last two seasons) 2.1Own moments +2.9Opponent moments −0.7Time effect −1.3→ 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.
