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.

11' Gianluca Scamacca Goal · scorer +0.3 · assist Davide Zappacosta +0.2 +0.5
75' Gianluca Gaetano Goal · scorer +0.6 · assist Sebastiano Esposito +0.2 +0.8

Cagliari Expected (last two seasons) 0.6Own moments +0.8Opponent moments −1.2Time 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.
