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.

34' Jeff Ekhator Goal · scorer +0.7 · assist Brooke Norton-Cuffy +0.3 +1.0
57' Frank Anguissa Goal +1.0
75' Rasmus Højlund Goal +1.5
Napoli Expected (last two seasons) 1.7Own moments +2.5Opponent moments −0.9Time effect −0.3→ League points won 3
Genoa Expected (last two seasons) 1.0Own moments +1.0Opponent moments −2.1Time 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.
