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.

47' Pape Matar Sarr Goal · scorer +0.6 · assist Xavi Simons +0.3 +0.9
54' Tomáš Souček Red card −0.2
57' Lucas Bergvall Goal · scorer +0.2 · assist Cristian Romero +0.1 +0.3
64' Micky van de Ven Goal · assist Lucas Bergvall 0.0
West Ham Expected (last two seasons) 1.1Own moments −0.2Opponent moments −0.9Time effect 0.0→ League points won 0
Tottenham Expected (last two seasons) 1.7Own moments +1.2Opponent moments +0.3Time effect −0.2→ League points won 3

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.
