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.

4' Jacob Murphy Goal · scorer +0.4 · assist Bruno Guimarães +0.2 +0.6
35' Lucas Paquetá Goal · scorer +0.5 · assist Mateus Fernandes +0.2 +0.7
45' Sven Botman Own goal −0.8
90' Tomáš Souček Goal +0.3
West Ham Expected (last two seasons) 1.1Own moments +1.0Opponent moments +0.3Time effect +0.6→ League points won 3
Newcastle Expected (last two seasons) 1.6Own moments −0.2Opponent moments −1.0Time effect −0.4→ 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.
