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

'good players' is the definition.
'seeds' can be an answer for 'players' (seed is a kind of player). I am not sure about the 'good' bit.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for seeds that I've seen before include "Favoured entrants in a knock-out competition" , "Initiates the growth of" , "Genesis" , "Small hard fruits" , "top tennis players" .)
