Burnley technical director Mike Rigg says the club are not using a "Moneyball" strategy in the transfer market.
The recruitment strategy, which was famously utilised in baseball by Oakland Athletics general manager Billy Beane, sees clubs with predominantly lower monetary resources focus on using statistics and data to sign cost-effective recruits.
Rigg says the Clarets are trying to expand the tools they use to stay competitive in the Premier League.
"What we are trying to do is to use more resources," said Rigg to the Lancashire Telegraph.
"It is never going to do away with the traditional stuff. What we are doing is using the data to try and help us filter.
"We are just now in the process of appointing a team of technical analysts who will help interpret this and at that point we have our normal scouts who will go out. So it is part of the filtering process.
"The work that goes into this is a bit of our intellectual property which we pay for and which we don't want to share with other clubs and I think we have got something which is better than anything out there."
