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.

53' Lamine Yamal Goal · scorer +0.6 · assist Dani Olmo +0.2 +0.8
80' Leandro Cabrera Red card −0.1
90+6' Fermín López Goal · assist Lamine Yamal 0.0
Espanyol Expected (last two seasons) 0.8Own moments −0.1Opponent moments −0.7Time effect 0.0→ League points won 0
Barcelona Expected (last two seasons) 1.9Own moments +0.8Opponent moments +0.1Time effect +0.2→ 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.
