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.

15' Roberto Fernández Goal +0.8
27' Antonio Blanco Goal +0.7
71' Lucas Boyé Goal · scorer +1.0 · assist Toni Martínez +0.4 +1.4
Espanyol Expected (last two seasons) 1.7Own moments +0.8Opponent moments −1.9Time effect −0.6→ League points won 0
Alaves Expected (last two seasons) 1.0Own moments +2.1Opponent moments −0.6Time 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.
