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.

29' Nick Woltemade Goal · scorer +0.4 · assist Jacob Murphy +0.2 +0.6
Newcastle Expected (last two seasons) 2.2Own moments +0.6Opponent moments 0.0Time effect +0.2→ League points won 3
Wolves Expected (last two seasons) 0.6Own moments 0.0Opponent moments −0.5Time effect −0.1→ 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.
