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.

22' Brooke Norton-Cuffy Goal +0.8
40' Caleb Ekuban Goal +0.4
45+2' Emirhan İlkhan Red card −0.1
83' Junior Messias Goal 0.0
Genoa Expected (last two seasons) 1.6Own moments +1.2Opponent moments +0.1Time effect +0.1→ League points won 3
Torino Expected (last two seasons) 1.2Own moments −0.1Opponent moments −1.0Time effect −0.1→ 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.
