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.

57' Diego López Goal · scorer +0.8 · assist Dani Raba +0.4 +1.2
60' Takefusa Kubo Goal · scorer +0.6 · assist Brais Méndez +0.3 +0.9
Valencia Expected (last two seasons) 1.5Own moments +1.2Opponent moments −1.3Time effect −0.4→ League points won 1
Real Sociedad Expected (last two seasons) 1.2Own moments +0.9Opponent moments −0.9Time 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.
