Ace astronaut in the team? (4,6)
I believe the answer is:
star player
'the team?' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.
'ace astronaut' is the wordplay.
'ace' becomes 'star' (synonyms).
'astronaut' becomes 'player' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'star'+'player'='STAR PLAYER'
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for star player that I've seen is " Best".)
I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
