Hello ballrs, Round 8 dished up one of the highest scoring SuperCoach rounds of the season. Will Magic Round produce the same windfall? Matt (58th) and Dan (rank 2982) are joined by special guest Realm of Realm & Myth fame to break down the best buys, risky cheapies and strategy around AEs aka auto emergencies.

If you’re at Magic Round this weekend, we’re giving away a handful of exclusive merch! Just keep an eye out for Matt in his exclusive “ballr alert: Young GI” t-shirt (see the shirt on our social media clips this week) and tell us Gehamat Shibasaki’s ballr projection for the week (Answer in this podcast) to be a proud owner. First in, best dressed!
