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.

17' Nick Woltemade Goal · scorer +0.5 · assist Sandro Tonali +0.2 +0.7
43' Anthony Gordon Pen goal +0.5
64' Anthony Gordon Pen goal +0.1

Newcastle Expected (last two seasons) 1.4Own moments +1.3Opponent moments 0.0Time effect +0.3→ League points won 3

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.
