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' Ludovic Blas Pen goal +0.9
35' Esteban Lepaul Goal · scorer +0.3 · assist Alidu Seidu +0.2 +0.5

Nantes Expected (last two seasons) 1.3Own moments +1.3Opponent moments −1.0Time effect −0.6→ League points won 1
Rennes Expected (last two seasons) 1.5Own moments +1.4Opponent moments −2.1Time effect +0.2→ 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.
