Top team at a disadvantage, in total confusion (6-4)
I believe the answer is:
upside-down
'a disadvantage in total confusion' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'top team at' is the wordplay.
'top' becomes 'upside' (I've seen this in another clue).
'team at' becomes 'down' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'upside'+'down'='UPSIDE-DOWN'
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
