Varied across goals achieved by top players (6)
I believe the answer is:
oscars
'goals achieved by top players' is the definition.
(awards for top actors or 'players')
'varied across' is the wordplay.
'varied' indicates an anagram.
'across' anagrammed gives 'OSCARS'.
(Other definitions for oscars that I've seen before include "Hollywood Academy Awards" , "American film Awards" , "Hollywood annual film awards" , "American Academy Awards" , "Movie awards" .)
