To be fair, these things are normally all about reverse engineering. Find an answer that fits (i.e. someone s*** that plays for us) and then find out why it could be the answer.

 

i.e. You're not going to go "OK, 'rebel' must be 'che', so lets find someone who fits xxxCHExxx". You figure out it probably begins with 'K', find a s*** players who fits, then work out the rest.

You've not got the hang of this at all have you. Take a look at A@A's quizzes and use the altogether better approach of having cryptic clues that don't have any logic, sense or connections. That's the way you do cryptyic clues.

3-2-1 you've won dusty bin!!!!!

[Kvarme Ate My Food]

what is the answer to this one?

 

"a fat ass man" is the non-cryptic bit, so you're looking for an overweight "ass man" (assistant manager).

 

"free" is an anagram indicator, so it's an anagram of "my meals"; "sweet centre" is the centre of the word "sweet", i.e. the letter e; and "with" implies that need to go into the anagram too.

 

so a fat assistant manager which is an anagram of "my meals e"
