Deal with eccentric king or queen, say (4,4)

I believe the answer is:

face card

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'queen say' is the definition.
(queen is a kind of face card)

'deal with eccentric king' is the wordplay.
'deal with' becomes 'face' (facing is a kind of dealing with).
'eccentric king' becomes 'card' (king is a type of playing card. I am not sure about the 'eccentric' bit.).
'face'+'card'='FACE-CARD'

'or' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for face card that I've seen before include "Jack for instance" , "Knave, perhaps" , "King, queen or jack" , "One of 12 in a deck" , "Maybe knave" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
