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.

30' Jean-Philippe Mateta Goal · scorer +0.6 · assist Jefferson Lerma +0.2 +0.8
51' Nathan Collins Own goal −0.3
Crystal Palace Expected (last two seasons) 1.5Own moments +0.8Opponent moments +0.5Time effect +0.2→ League points won 3
Brentford Expected (last two seasons) 1.2Own moments −0.3Opponent moments −0.7Time effect −0.2→ 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.
