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.

31' Álvaro Odriozola Goal · scorer +0.6 · assist Ander Barrenetxea +0.2 +0.8
43' Jules Koundé Goal · scorer +0.6 · assist Marcus Rashford +0.3 +0.9
59' Robert Lewandowski Goal · scorer +0.6 · assist Lamine Yamal +0.3 +0.9
Barcelona Expected (last two seasons) 2.1Own moments +1.8Opponent moments −0.8Time effect −0.1→ League points won 3
Real Sociedad Expected (last two seasons) 0.7Own moments +0.8Opponent moments −1.6Time 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.
