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.

49' Jessy Deminguet Goal · scorer +0.7 · assist Gauthier Hein +0.3 +1.0
61' Folarin Balogun Goal · scorer +0.6 · assist Maghnes Akliouche +0.3 +0.9

Monaco Expected (last two seasons) 1.8Own moments +2.5Opponent moments −0.9Time effect −0.4→ League points won 3

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.
