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.

28' Jamie Vardy Goal · scorer +0.6 · assist James Justin +0.2 +0.8
69' Kasey McAteer Goal · scorer +0.3 · assist Wilfred Ndidi +0.2 +0.5
Leicester Expected (last two seasons) 1.1Own moments +1.3Opponent moments 0.0Time effect +0.6→ League points won 3
Ipswich Expected (last two seasons) 1.6Own moments 0.0Opponent moments −1.1Time effect −0.5→ 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.
