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.

45' Vladyslav Vanat Pen goal +1.0

Espanyol Expected (last two seasons) 1.7Own moments 0.0Opponent moments −1.0Time effect −0.7→ League points won 0
Girona Expected (last two seasons) 1.1Own moments +1.2Opponent 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.
