Admire the sound team that gets the points (6)
I believe the answer is:
esteem
'admire the sound team that gets the points' is the definition.
'esteem' can be an answer for 'admire' (I've seen this in another clue). I'm not sure about the remainder of the definition.
'admire the sound team' is the wordplay.
'admire' becomes 'es' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'the sound' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'team' sounds like 'teem'.
'es'+'teem'='ESTEEM'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for esteem that I've seen before include "Count" , "gain respect" , "Respect, admire" , "Admire - honour" , "High opinion, great respect" .)
