Over the past few years we've seen more clubs turning to data when making decisions, such as signing new players. The most notable one for me is Brentford, who actually parted company with Warburton over a dispute over this approach.
Interestingly, there is a fairly new company called MRKT Insights who provide scouting reports and opposition analysis for clubs using data.
Swansea City have now partnered with them. It will be interesting to see if this will benefit them, and if shifting towards using data will become the norm.
