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.

8' Yankuba Minteh Goal · scorer +0.5 · assist Georginio Rutter +0.2 +0.7
31' Yasin Ayari Goal +0.5
43' Richarlison Goal · scorer +0.3 · assist Mohammed Kudus +0.1 +0.4
82' Jan Paul van Hecke Own goal −1.5
Brighton Expected (last two seasons) 1.4Own moments −0.3Opponent moments −0.5Time effect +0.4→ League points won 1
Tottenham Expected (last two seasons) 1.4Own moments +0.4Opponent moments −0.1Time effect −0.7→ 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.
