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.

3' Jamil Siebert Goal · scorer +0.6 · assist Antonino Gallo +0.2 +0.8
46' Rasmus Højlund Goal · scorer +0.7 · assist Matteo Politano +0.3 +1.0

Lecce Expected (last two seasons) 0.7Own moments +0.8Opponent moments −1.9Time effect +0.4→ 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.
