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.

51' Igor Paixão Goal · scorer +0.7 · assist Robinio Vaz +0.3 +1.0
69' Matt O'Riley Goal · scorer +0.2 · assist Amine Gouiri +0.1 +0.3
76' Amine Gouiri Goal · assist Matt O'Riley 0.0

Marseille Expected (last two seasons) 1.8Own moments +1.3Opponent moments 0.0Time effect −0.1→ 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.
