  In this paper an application of D-Wave Systems quantum annealer for
optimizing initial line-up of a soccer team is presented. Players and their
playing position are selected to maximize the sum of players ratings for both a
4-3-3 attack formation and a 4-2-3-1 medium defensive formation. The problem is
stated as a binary quadratic model (BQM) and it is solved in a D-Wave Leap
Hybrid Solver. Results are presented and compared with already published
results obtained with a classical solver.
