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.

78' Francesco Pio Esposito Goal +1.3
Inter Expected (last two seasons) 2.4Own moments +1.3Opponent moments 0.0Time effect −0.7→ League points won 3
Lecce Expected (last two seasons) 0.5Own moments 0.0Opponent moments −0.8Time effect +0.3→ 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.
