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.

3' Carlos Vicente Goal · scorer +0.6 · assist Lucas Boyé +0.2 +0.8
47' Toni Martínez Goal · scorer +0.3 · assist Pablo Ibáñez +0.2 +0.5

Real Betis Expected (last two seasons) 1.4Own moments +0.1Opponent moments −1.0Time effect −0.5→ 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.
