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.

Aston Villa Expected (last two seasons) 1.6Own moments +0.1Opponent moments −1.2Time effect −0.5→ League points won 0
Tottenham Expected (last two seasons) 1.1Own moments +1.3Opponent moments −0.2Time effect +0.8→ 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.
