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.

66' Ezri Konsa Red card −0.4
Aston Villa Expected (last two seasons) 1.8Own moments −0.4Opponent moments 0.0Time effect −0.4→ League points won 1
Newcastle Expected (last two seasons) 1.0Own moments 0.0Opponent moments +0.3Time effect −0.3→ League points won 1

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.
