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' Trai Hume Goal · scorer +0.6 · assist Luke O'Nien +0.2 +0.8
50' Malo Gusto Own goal −0.4
56' Cole Palmer Goal · scorer +0.3 · assist Pedro Neto +0.1 +0.4
62' Wesley Fofana Red card −0.2
Sunderland Expected (last two seasons) 1.3Own moments +0.8Opponent moments +0.3Time effect +0.6→ League points won 3
Chelsea Expected (last two seasons) 1.5Own moments −0.2Opponent moments −0.7Time effect −0.6→ 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.
