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.

61' Bruno Fernandes Pen goal +1.2
67' Ryan Christie Goal · scorer +0.7 · assist Adrien Truffert +0.3 +1.0
71' James Hill Own goal −1.0

Manchester United Expected (last two seasons) 1.1Own moments +1.0Opponent moments −1.4Time effect +0.3→ 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.
