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.

3' Enzo Fernández Goal · scorer +0.5 · assist Pedro Neto +0.2 +0.7
56' Jarell Quansah Own goal −0.4
85' Virgil van Dijk Goal · assist Alexis Mac Allister +0.2
90+6' Cole Palmer Pen goal +0.1
Chelsea Expected (last two seasons) 1.2Own moments +0.8Opponent moments +0.3Time effect +0.7→ League points won 3
Liverpool Expected (last two seasons) 1.5Own moments −0.2Opponent moments −0.6Time effect −0.7→ 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.
