FN xPts — what each moment was worth

No goals, red cards or missed penalties, so no FN xPts moments in this match.

Chelsea Expected (last two seasons) 1.9Own moments 0.0Opponent moments 0.0Time effect −0.9→ League points won 1
Crystal Palace Expected (last two seasons) 0.8Own moments 0.0Opponent moments 0.0Time effect +0.2→ 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.
