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.

19' James Garner Goal · scorer +0.7 · assist Dwight McNeil +0.3 +1.0
79' Thierno Barry Goal · scorer +0.2 · assist James Garner +0.1 +0.3
Nottingham Forest Expected (last two seasons) 1.7Own moments 0.0Opponent moments −1.1Time effect −0.6→ League points won 0
Everton Expected (last two seasons) 1.0Own moments +1.3Opponent moments 0.0Time effect +0.7→ League points won 3

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.
