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.

20' Mikkel Damsgaard Goal +0.8
38' Alex Iwobi Goal · scorer +0.6 · assist Rodrigo Muniz +0.2 +0.8
40' Harry Wilson Goal · scorer +0.6 · assist Alex Iwobi +0.3 +0.9
50' Ethan Pinnock Own goal −0.3
Fulham Expected (last two seasons) 1.5Own moments +1.7Opponent moments −0.2Time effect 0.0→ League points won 3
Brentford Expected (last two seasons) 1.3Own moments +0.5Opponent moments −1.7Time 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.
