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.

61' Ladislav Krejčí Red card −0.3
90' Evann Guessand Goal · scorer +1.0 · assist Tyrick Mitchell +0.5 +1.5
Crystal Palace Expected (last two seasons) 1.9Own moments +1.5Opponent moments +0.3Time effect −0.7→ League points won 3
Wolves Expected (last two seasons) 0.9Own moments −0.3Opponent moments −0.8Time effect +0.2→ 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.
