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.

13' Pedri Goal · scorer +0.3 · assist Lamine Yamal +0.2 +0.5
20' Axel Witsel Goal · scorer +0.3 · assist Arnau Martínez +0.1 +0.4
90' Ronald Araújo Goal · scorer +1.2 · assist Frenkie de Jong +0.5 +1.7
Barcelona Expected (last two seasons) 2.2Own moments +2.2Opponent moments −0.5Time effect −0.9→ League points won 3
Girona Expected (last two seasons) 0.6Own moments +0.4Opponent moments −1.3Time effect +0.3→ 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.
