If I understand the question correctly...



You can partition your "set" of players into the different groups (youngest, "middle", oldest) which simplifies your problem. We have the...



2 youngest players



11 "middle aged" players



2 oldest players



Now you want 2 out of the 2 youngest players, 1 of the 2 oldest players, and thus 8 out of the 11 "other" players OR 2 out of the 2 youngest players, 0 of the 2 oldest players, and thus 9 out of the 11 "other" players.



The number of possible teams is then: $binom22cdotbinom21cdotbinom118+binom22cdotbinom20cdotbinom119 = 1cdot2cdot165 +1cdot1cdot55=385$

  • I've got it by using your approach. You have not taken into consideration the at most part which means 1 or 0 of the oldest two player must be included. The answer is (2c2*11c9)+(2c2*2c1*11c8)
