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.

37' Nobel Mendy Goal · scorer +0.6 · assist Gerard Gumbau +0.3 +0.9
64' Diego López Goal +0.9
Rayo Vallecano Expected (last two seasons) 1.6Own moments +0.9Opponent moments −1.2Time effect −0.3→ League points won 1
Valencia Expected (last two seasons) 1.1Own moments +0.9Opponent moments −0.7Time effect −0.3→ League points won 1

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.
