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.

54' Raúl Jiménez Goal · scorer +0.8 · assist Alex Iwobi +0.3 +1.1
61' Raúl Jiménez Pen goal +0.6
76' Enzo Le Fée Pen goal +0.3
85' Alex Iwobi Goal · scorer +0.2 · assist Harry Wilson +0.1 +0.3
Sunderland Expected (last two seasons) 1.8Own moments +0.3Opponent moments −1.5Time effect −0.6→ League points won 0
Fulham Expected (last two seasons) 1.0Own moments +2.0Opponent moments −0.5Time 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.
