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' Santiago Pierotti Goal · scorer +0.7 · assist Antonino Gallo +0.3 +1.0
38' Nikola Štulić Pen goal +0.6
47' Federico Bonazzoli Goal · scorer +0.3 · assist Milan Đurić +0.1 +0.4
Lecce Expected (last two seasons) 1.2Own moments +1.6Opponent moments −0.5Time effect +0.7→ League points won 3
Cremonese Expected (last two seasons) 1.5Own moments +0.4Opponent moments −1.3Time effect −0.6→ 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.
