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.

5' Morgan Gibbs-White Goal +0.8
45' Neco Williams Red card −0.3

Nottingham Forest Expected (last two seasons) 1.4Own moments +0.5Opponent moments −1.1Time effect +0.2→ League points won 1
Crystal Palace Expected (last two seasons) 1.4Own moments +1.0Opponent moments −0.5Time effect −0.9→ 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.
