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.

18' Michael Gregoritsch Goal · scorer +0.5 · assist Anton Kade +0.2 +0.7
62' Ron Schallenberg Red card −0.1
79' Anton Kade Goal · assist Fabian Rieder +0.2
90' Rodrigo Ribeiro Goal · assist Young-woo Seol 0.0
FC Augsburg Expected (last two seasons) 1.7Own moments +0.9Opponent moments +0.2Time effect +0.2→ League points won 3
FC Schalke 04 Expected (no record yet, starting estimate) 1.1Own moments −0.1Opponent moments −0.7Time 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.
