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.

25' Daniel Vivian Goal · scorer +0.6 · assist Iñaki Williams +0.2 +0.8
45' Oihan Sancet Goal · scorer +0.3 · assist Iñaki Williams +0.1 +0.4
75' Pablo Fornals Goal +0.2
Athletic Club Expected (last two seasons) 1.6Own moments +1.2Opponent moments −0.3Time effect +0.5→ League points won 3
Real Betis Expected (last two seasons) 1.1Own moments +0.2Opponent moments −1.0Time effect −0.3→ 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.
