The Kiwiman Daryl Mitchell is gonna be the most crucial player for CSK tonight, he's gonna dictate the terms,the fate of CSK in the game tonight. Replacing a stalwart like Ambati Rayudu at CSK is very tough, he's been a true legend of the league and to fill in the big shoes, he's the most suitable candidate because he bats in the middle order and plays spin, pace both equally well, has the timing game as well as the power game to hit effortless sixes down the ground. The potential is there, the performance has also been there for the Blackcaps. Now it's high time tonight to start replicating those in the CSK colours and repay the huge faith shown towards him, the continuous backing has to reap the Rewards tonight onwards. If he doesn't get going, CSK can't win on flat decks and shouldn't dream of clinching the record sixth title they're running running after. The bowling is the weaker side, and with the uncertainty over the availability of Pathirana, it's evident that you've to score 230+ at least at the Wankhede against this destructive MI batting lineup and Mitchell holds the key for CSK if they wanna reach that score and compete neck to neck, otherwise the game is over in the first innings itself, more so considering a full loaded gun, a magician named Jasprit Bumrah will be charging at you from the MI arsenal. The simple funda is chasing at the Wankhede, and I'd love to see Santner bowling in place of Theekshana if Baby Malinga doesn't turn up on the ground tonight. CSK will be desperate to see their two most vital weapons bowling at the death in tandem to give them some respite and a glimpse of hope against this vintage, clinical and professional MI unit. CSK badly needs Mitchell to fire tonight, he has to come good, come to the party finally, he's had a poor run up till now but they've backed him and will continue because there's no better option than Mitchell at 4, replacing Ambati. Hopefully the big game player will come to the rescue of the yellow army. Mitchell has to play long and big. He's an asset for CSK and will be the most vital wicket for MI to clinch the game in the CSK batting innings to choke them so Expect Hardik to save Boom's overs, bowl him only one in the powerplay and unleash the speedster as soon as Mitchell comes to the crease. You've to utilise your best weapon differently every game depending upon the demands of the particular match, you've to be adaptable and felxible, there's nothing called predetermined in captaincy or cricket. You've to go with your gut feel, and back your instincts, take the onus and make those instant brave calls when it's close calls and the intensity is really creeping on on the ground at the moment and you gotta have a plan B or Plan C, D in the el classico, this is a high pressure game and it's gonna decide mi rising up on the ladder, so the context is very big and with the rich legacy of the two teams, expect an intense battle, a nailbiter on the cards for all of us. You can't comment like I don't mind losing the IPL final to Mahibhai, it's written on the destiny because of the personal camaraderie when you're getting paid a whopping sum for being a professional and a skipper of a team with a rich legacy in the league, to go with. So fasten your seatbelts, it's gonna be a mouthwatering clash at our hands

FA CUP PREVIEW: Manchester City vs Manchester United
Manchester United are serious underdogs for Saturday's FA Cup final, with Oddschecker showing City as 3/10 on to win and United 3/1 to win.
Tumblr media
It's not hard to see why. City are the Premier League champions, in both the FA Cup and Champions League finals, and Pep Guardiola has a much bigger squad with much better quality in depth.
Norwegian danger Erling Haaland scored an insane 36 goals in the EPL this season, plus another 16 in other competitions - with two matches to go. Playmaker Kevin De Bruyne has 10 goals, 28 assists in all competitions - 16 of said assists being in the Premier League.
The noisy neighbours boast a lot of firepower, with Foden, Alvarez and Gundogan also bagging a lot of goals, and Grealish, Bernardo Silva, and Riyad Mahrez supplying. Factor in a resolute goalkeeper and a wide range of tactical flexibility... it's very hard to beat this City team.
Tumblr media
It's not mission impossible for United though. As the season tails off, rest has returned. Players on both sides will be worn out from the season, but they should have enough in the tank for one last push.
United's issues are injuries and in-match composure. Antony's potentially back in time for the final but will likely then be on the bench. Martial is out - to nobody's surprise. Martinez is back pre-season, Varane's an injury risk, Luke Shaw's back might be an issue, Sabitzer...
That said, United are more likely to suffer from the issue of focus and composure. As we saw against Chelsea, when something went wrong the game started to fall apart rapidly. United showed more steel versus Fulham, but Chelsea - for all they are shit - are a Big Team. That impacts the mentality. City will impact it further, and anything less than full focus will see City score any number of goals.
The hope: United show up and make it a hard game and maybe squeeze a 1-0 or 2-1 win out, perhaps penalties.
The reality: City flex as they push to repeat Fergie's infamous treble and slap us 3-0 in a confidence boost ahead of the ECL final.

Tottenham Hotspur vs Nottingham Forest: Match Preview
Should Spurs get the three points, they’ll go forth in the table.
Tumblr media
Spurs play Forest in what is a must-win fixture before a run of tricky fixtures, including the North London Derby, Liverpool, Newcastle and Chelsea away, and possibly a yet-to-be-rescheduled Manchester City home game. With Aston Villa dropping points against Brentford on Saturday in a dramatic 3-3 draw, a win would put Spurs in the Champions League qualification zone thanks to goal difference with a game in hand.
Spurs’ form has been inconsistent recently like most of the season has been for them, winning their last three out of five games (including the 0-4 Villa game) but also lost poorly to Fulham and drew to West Ham in the previous game. However, they have won four out of their last five home games - only losing to Wolves - and are heavy favourites for this game, picking up an average of 2.20 points at home this season.
The Lilywhites won 0-2 in the reverse fixture, with goals from Richarlison from a Kulusevski cross and the Swede scoring later, taking advantage of a Turner mistake. There will be no Matt Turner for tonight’s game, though, as Forest now has a new number 1 in Sels. Bissouma also received a red card for a silly challenge, resulting in a four-game ban, although he didn’t miss any games through suspension due to his unavailability from AFCON. Veliz also had a great cameo, getting one zero touches of the ball as he was subbed on at the last minute to run down the time (my apologies, but this was too funny not to point out). Before all that, Johnson - on his return to the City ground after his summer transfer - received a nasty cut above his eyebrow, whose scar is still visible today. Spurs were still suffering an injury crisis with van de Ven and Maddison still injured (they ended the game with a midfield of Hojbjerg, Skipp, and Sarr), with Davies and Kulusevski replacing them, respectively.
In terms of head-to-head records, Spurs have won the last four out of their previous five games against Forest, only losing 2-0 in the EFL Cup in 2022 due to goals from Lodi and Lingard (I just saw the back five of Sess, Lenglet, Dier, Sanchez, and Doherty and shuttered). Spurs won this fixture last season 3-1, with Kane scoring a brace and Son adding to the tally (Richarlison had a goal disallowed), Worrall scoring a late consolation goal, and Ayew missing an even later penalty for the visitors.
Forest come into this game with one win in seven matches, although the win was a resounding one against Fulham in the midweek. Before that, they lost four and then drew two. They’re currently 17th in the table, only above Luton Town on goal difference, following the Hatters’ win against Bournemouth on Saturday. Forest have an abysmal away record, only picking up 10 points on the road, with a record of 2-4-9. Their 29-point haul this season includes their four-point deduction for PSR breaches, which are currently under appeal (which ironically revolves around the sale of Johnson).
Tottenham Hotspur News
Tumblr media
Sarr should be returning back into the starting lineup.
Predicted Lineup
Guglielmo Vicario: Clean sheets have been rare for all his good performances. This game may be one of the best chances he has before the end of the season.
Destiny Udogie: He’s impressed this season but must be wary of Elanga during this game.
Micky van de Ven: Chris Wood is not known for his speed, but Micky’s pace will be helpful should Forest counter (which they will).
Cristian Romero: The vice-captain will have to keep Wood in check, and like the rest of the defenders, a clean sheet would be welcome.
Pedro Porro: He hasn’t been as free-flowing these days but remains everpresent
Pape Matar Sarr: He was benched the last game, presumably for rotation or injury concerns, but should start.
Yves Bissouma: He performed well against West Ham and was complimented by Ange. Despite inconsistencies in his games, his position is not at risk.
James Maddison: He hasn’t quite hit the heights before his injury, but his spot is secure.
Timo Werner: Although he has the right profile for this team, his goalscoring instincts still need to be improved.
Son Heungmin: With Richarlison injured for this match, Son should lead the frontline, and a goal would be great following his 400th appearance.
Brennan Johnson: The Forest Academy graduate will play against his former teammates again, hoping to last longer on the pitch and leave unscathed.
Players Dropped
Rodrigo Bentancur: He performed fine and has been for most of his appearances following his ankle injury, but Sarr should take his spot for this game.
Dejan Kulusevski: He hasn’t been dropped as he was benched in the last game, but his performances have waned after an otherwise consistent run, and Johnson should be starting, although Kulusevski will no doubt make a cameo at some point.
Players Absent
Fraser Forster (injury): Out for the rest of the season with a foot injury.
Manor Solomon (injury): Out for the rest of the season with a knee injury.
Richarlison (injury): He has a knee niggle, according to Postecoglou, but could return to the squad for the Newcastle game.
Ryan Sessegnon (injury): Out for the rest of the season with a thigh injury.
Nottingham Forest News
Tumblr media
Gibbs-White has been Forest’s star player this season.
Predicted Lineup
Sels; Aina, Murillo, Omobamidele, Williams; Danilo, Yates; Hudson-Odoi, Gibbs-White, Elanga; Wood
It appears unlikely that Nuno will change the lineup that started against Fulham in midweek on his return to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Players Absent
Nuno Tavares (injury): He has had a thigh injury since February, and this game will be too soon for the defender.
Taiwo Awoniyi (injury): His injury has been a blow for Forest, although Wood has done well in his absence.
Willy Boly (injury): Got injured during AFCON and probably won’t play a role in this game.
Players to Watch Out For
Brennan Johnson (TOT): He’s hit an upturn of form in recent weeks and might look to get a goal against his boyhood club as he goes up against Nigerian international Aina.
Son Heungmin (TOT): He may only have one goal in three matches against Forest, but he’s Spurs’ leading man and has the most goal contributions this season, even if he was unavailable during the Asian Cup.
Morgan Gibbs-White (NFO): He orchestrated the defeat of Fulham in midweek and is Forest’s brightest spark and chief creator. He’s also been linked with a move to Tottenham in recent weeks.
Chris Wood (NFO): Forest’s top scorer with 11 goals has been on fire, scoring thrice in their last three games, with 0.82 goals every 90 minutes this season. His aerial prowess will have to be kept in check by Spurs.
Anthony Elanga (NFO): The Swedish international equals Gibbs-White’s assist numbers at seven and will relish the space in Spurs’ high line, particularly when Udogie drifts inside.
Prediction
On paper, this should be a routine win for Spurs, but Spurs tend to hold possession of the ball and need to do more with it. Forest will be looking to capitalise on any Spurs mistakes and lapses in concentration to catch them on the counter, likely through their speedy wingers. It wouldn’t be surprising to see the home side concede first, but the visitors' poor away record should result in Spurs winning.
Prediction: Tottenham Hotspur 3-1 Nottingham Forest

fridge decor set
Tumblr media
After working on it on and off between other projects, I present another small CC decor set -- this time inspired by me spending an hour arranging clutter on the fridge everytime I build something. No more. This is a set of 9 pieces -- the main clutter set is a regular clutter object that can be placed on the floor. I think it still allows the fridge to be used (I tested a previous version and don't think anything has changed since then). Every other object snaps to walls and corkboards. The main set is separated into 5 pieces: - animal magnet (10 bear swatches, koala, pig and frog swatches) - heart magnet (30-something swatches) - whiteboard (36 swatches with 9 frame colours) - notes (6 swatches) - postcards (12 swatches) I was going to make another set but I don't feel like it, so I'm uploading the items here: - the towel has 60 swatches (15 colors in 4 patterns) - receipts have 15 swatches, iirc - calendar has 24 swatches (12 months, clean and with scribbles)
|| download HERE (Google Drive link) ||
as usual, feel free to recolor, edit, whatever, just don't put it behind a paywall and PLEASE tag me if you use this and have any screenshots. I will print them out and hang them over my bed

For newcomers, picking a captain for your fantasy cricket team might be complex. You must know a few essential requirements for a player to serve as the team's captain. Continue reading further to learn how to pick the right captain for your team.
How Can You Select The Perfect Team Captain For Your Fantasy Team?
A team's captain can make or ruin it. A mediocre squad can achieve great success under the leadership of a strong captain. If the team's leader is ineffective, they may perform below par and fall short of their potential. Fantasy applications recognise this leadership quality and have built their games to give the captain bonus points. Therefore, choosing a competent captain is essential if you want to play fantasy cricket and win money. Number-wise, having a strong captain increases your odds of success. So, here are a few things that can help you choose a good captain in the new Fantasy App.
How Can You Choose The Right Team Captain For Your Fantasy Team?
Tumblr media
Don't be scared to try out a few things
Sometimes being ordinary can be dull and inhibit your success. Therefore, being a little unsettling and surprising your opponents is not a terrible idea. By moving a pinch hitter up the order or passing the ball to a player who scarcely rolls his arms over, just like a good captain would. Trust a rookie or debutant who is still learning and has not been identified by the other teams; go ahead and make him the leader of your group. Do your background investigation and consider whether he may be a good fit for the circumstances based on local records or junior cricket. Once finished, go for it and surprise everyone. After all, the payoff is always more significant when the risk is more considerable.
Remove a fan's personal bias.
Let's be real here. Every cricket fan has a personal favourite whose accomplishments excite them to the fullest. In cricket hype, emotions play a vital part. However, cricket in fantasy sports is a little bit of a different game. When trying to win money, it is best to choose a captain based on logic and evidence. So, choose a captain not because you want to see that person succeed but because you believe that player has a better probability of success than the others on a particular day.
Look for players with a variety of skills
Being multifaceted does not equate to being all-around. All-around players have a higher chance of playing for a more extended period. However, success is not always assured when an all-arounder is chosen. A multidimensional player has a fluid game regardless of the discipline they choose. They have the advantage of facing more deliveries than other batters, making them top order. They might also be a big-hitting slog overs player. It offers them a benefit over hitters who are only openers or lower-order bats. To improve your team's performance and provide a few extra catches, look for batters who are also excellent catchers.
Track the star athletes while watching and studying sports
Make a concerted effort to learn as much as you can by watching sports, as doing all the study at the last minute might not be simple. Keep an eye on the big names in particular. Keep tabs on their most recent performances and observe how they behave under various circumstances. Use the horse for courses approach that coaches use. Always keep an eye on the performance and tactics of the consistent winners. But don't imitate them, please. Create your niche and strategy while studying the game's tricks like a diligent student.
Conclusion
An ideal team requires work. Finding the perfect captain will only make things more challenging. However, a patient strategy based on systematic study and analysis lightens the pressure. When you know that you put in the hard work, the thrill of success increases. So go about your business, trust your judgement, and rule the world like a lion-hearted captain. You will succeed in playing sports in the fantasy app.

Manchester United vs Chelsea - Match Preview
Prediction: 2-0 United
Chelsea. What a state they are in. They probably boast the best squad depth aside this season’s champions but find themselves languishing in 12th place in the English Premier League.
Owner Todd Boehly’s intervention-heavy approach feels like something from a Football Manager game, and sees his new play-thing on 43 points with -6 goal difference. Even if Chelsea were to beat United on Thursday and Newcastle on Sunday, they cannot break into the top 10.
For United, they need just 1 point from 6 available to secure top 4 and a Champions League place, and it’s very likely that the tired-but-organised United can produce an underwhelming-but-professional win over a jaded Chelsea side.
Tumblr media
United:
Erik Ten Hag’s season needs a strong finish. Both Chelsea and Fulham have nothing but pride to play for, whereas United do. Incentive helps, and so does a home crowd, but 2 wins and 2 losses in 4 is hardly elite form.
United since the EFL Cup final have been patchy, if not poor. The 7-0 hammering to Liverpool, the 0-0 with 10 men vs Southampton, defeats to Brighton, Newcastle, and West Ham... and Sevilla knocked the club out of the Europa League (though admittedly they have made it to yet another EL final).
As the season’s fatigue has set in on United’s players, so too has a lapse in concentration it seems. Rashford’s scintillating form has tailed off, Casemiro looks off the ball, and Martinez is out til pre-season. To compound this, Martial and Weghorst just aren’t scoring the goals needed from a centre forward. 
The team has lacked the goal threat to kill off games. Plenty of draws or defeats could easily have been wins had teams not been given so much time to regroup, refocus, and fight back. Rashford has done well for goals this year and Bruno’s chipped in, but Sancho is the third highest scorer. This is a man who is clearly struggling with something behind the scenes and took 2 months out to rehabilitate. That’s not enough goals from the supporting cast.
That being said, gelling as a team takes time - another issue facing both sides. Next season, with a proper CF or two, plus some other players in, some players out... perhaps we’ll see more of that bite that United teams of old had. It certainly feels like Erik Ten Hag’s United are a more tactically astute team, with a variety of gameplans.
For now, we the fans will take a disciplined win to secure CL qualification. It can be boring, it can be close, but the result is all that matters.
Tumblr media
Chelsea: 
Chelsea’s form since the start of April has been woeful. A loss to Villa saw Graham Potter sacked, they drew with Liverpool under an interim coach, and then proceeded to lose 6 on the bounce under the temporarily returning Frank Lampard - a man already dismissed for failing to perform as Chelsea manager. Right...
Lampard will be relieved that a 3-1 away win against Bournemouth helped secure Chelsea’s safety and spare any blushes should a relegation battle have emerged, but 7 losses in 9 games under Lampard demonstrates a) how clear it is that Chelsea lack identity and a team cohesion and b) how poor a choice of manager he was.
Goals have played a big part of Chelsea’s lack of bite. While their star striker is on loan back at Inter and has made the Champions League final, the Blues find themselves struggling to score. 6 goals for May (so far) is the joint-third most they’ve scored in a calendar month. They matched the same in August, 8 in March, and 16 in October. April and February they only managed 1 goal each month respectively, 2 goals in both December and November (impacted by the World Cup and Christmas), and 3 goals in January and September.
Chelsea’s saving grace is that Manchester United are tired, and lacking a true centre forward. They may not like it, but playing for a draw could be the best option. Quiet the crowd, kill the energy and the tempo, and maybe Chelsea can upset United. It’s a big maybe though. Does Frank Lampard have the humility to play safe? Do his players?

Hey y'all! I've really felt like making more cc lately, but I'm determined to upload some more of my completed recolors before I hop into any new projects. Here we have two summer themed recolors, a dress and a jumpsuit! Details, credits and download links below the cut.
DETAILS:
These are recolors of @joliebean's jungle dress and @akalukery's plunge halter jumpsuit. Mesh is included thanks to the original creators generous tou's, but I recommend you check out and download the originals as well.
the dress has 15 swatches and the jumpsuit has 12, various summer themed patterns for both.
Both have custom thumbnails for the first swatch.
You can see an unedited in-game photo of some more swatches right here.
these definitely aren't perfect recolors, but honestly I think they work just fine and I liked how they ended up so I figured I'd share.
P.S sorry that i'm never going to use any other preview style for CAS cc, it's just too easy to use this template and I do not have the energy to do proper previews anymore especially if i'm going to be uploading a bunch of stuff, which i plan to!
CREDIT:
thank you to joliebean and akalukery for their generous tou's and for the original meshes.
Patterns found via freepik, vecteezy, spoonflower, maybe a few from colourlovers/google. All credit goes to the original creators for their lovely patterns!
