Abubakr goes first, picking one player. Then alternate picking two
players each.

When all the players have been picked, you both have to put them in a
4-2-3-1 formation:
RD (Right defender)
CD (Central defender)
CD (Central defender)
LD (Left defender)
DM (Defensive midfielder)
DM (Defensive midfielder)
RAM (Right attacking midfielder)
CAM (Central attacking midfielder)
LAM (Left attacking midfielder)
A (Attacker)

To make your choice, consider that the team's score is given by the
*geometric mean* of *your players' ratings in those position*:
- Geometric mean = nth root of the resulting product. I.e. higher
values beat lower values (4*2 beats 3*2), but also more balanced
values beat less balanced values (3*3 beats 4*2).
- Your players' rating in those position: e.g. Messi played as ...
is ..., but played as ... is ... (like ... played as ...).
I.e. you have to pick good players, put them in the right positions
and avoid weak links (doesn't it sound reasonable?).

I'll use Football Manager (beginning of current season) ratings.
Please don't check them (but you could lose even if you'll cheat!).

Thanks. Are there any special descriptions of the formations that we
need to know in FM?
From: Abubakr on
My first pick is Sebastián Battaglia.

No, because I won't simulate the matches in FM. I'll just check one
single number for each player [1]: what the ability of a player is in
the position you'll have chosen for him (technically, this value is
computed by an editor using FM data). I.e. we'll use FM's database of
players' properties, not its game engine.

[1] And then for each team I'll multiply the values of the 10 players:
second step, geometric mean. The team with the higher geometric mean
wins (third and last step: outcome).
