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.

13' Murillo Own goal −0.7
55' Nicolás Domínguez Goal · scorer +0.6 · assist Elliot Anderson +0.3 +0.9
89' Morgan Gibbs-White Pen goal +1.6
West Ham Expected (last two seasons) 1.1Own moments 0.0Opponent moments −1.3Time effect +0.2→ League points won 0
Nottingham Forest Expected (last two seasons) 1.7Own moments +1.8Opponent moments 0.0Time effect −0.5→ 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.
