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.

34' Declan Rice Goal · scorer +0.4 · assist Martin Ødegaard +0.2 +0.6
67' Dean Huijsen Goal · scorer +0.5 · assist Antoine Semenyo +0.2 +0.7
75' Evanilson Goal +1.3
Arsenal Expected (last two seasons) 2.1Own moments +0.6Opponent moments −2.0Time effect −0.7→ League points won 0
Bournemouth Expected (last two seasons) 0.7Own moments +2.0Opponent moments −0.5Time effect +0.8→ 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.
