Shot around goal is in (6)
I believe the answer is:
trendy
'in' is the definition.
('in' can mean trendy or fashionable)
'shot around goal' is the wordplay.
'shot' becomes 'try' (I've seen this before).
'around' is an insertion indicator.
'goal' becomes 'end' (both can mean a purpose).
'try' enclosing 'end' is 'TRENDY'.
'is' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for trendy that I've seen before include "following fashion" , "Voguish" , "Up to date, fashionable" , "Hot" , "Informally, following the fashions" .)
