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.

7' Kike García Goal · scorer +0.5 · assist Pol Lozano +0.2 +0.7
42' Marc Aguado Goal +0.9
57' Carlos Romero Goal · scorer +0.8 · assist Edu Expósito +0.3 +1.1
90' Rafa Mir Pen goal +1.0

Elche Expected (last two seasons) 1.8Own moments +1.9Opponent moments −1.5Time effect −1.2→ League points won 1
Espanyol Expected (last two seasons) 0.9Own moments +1.7Opponent moments −2.6Time effect +1.0→ 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.
