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.

22' Éder Militão Goal · scorer +0.3 · assist Federico Valverde +0.2 +0.5
47' Kylian Mbappé Goal · assist Vinícius Júnior +0.2
Real Madrid Expected (last two seasons) 2.4Own moments +0.7Opponent moments 0.0Time effect −0.1→ League points won 3
Espanyol Expected (last two seasons) 0.4Own 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.
