So the state includes the positions of all players and of the ball? That doesn't sound like solving football at all. Why not build on the RoboCup 2D Football simulation league? It is a more realistic environment, where each agent has to sense the environment and decide what to do with some limited communication with other agents and with the coach. Furthermore, it already has some state-of-the-art teams. And finally, it is a step on the road to actually having a team of physical humanoid robots playing against a human team. As is, this does not look very interesting and does not look too dissimilar from the Atari reinforcement learning.
