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.

75' Grady Diangana Goal · scorer +1.0 · assist Adrià Pedrosa +0.5 +1.5
87' Pepelu Pen goal +1.0
Valencia Expected (last two seasons) 1.7Own moments +1.0Opponent moments −1.0Time effect −0.7→ League points won 1
Elche Expected (last two seasons) 1.0Own moments +1.5Opponent moments −1.7Time effect +0.2→ 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.
