Default Auto fill Cells with text

Assuming you have a table somewhere (lets say in A1:B5), with column
headings corresponding to teams, and the players listed below for that team:

Formula for first player on team:
=OFFSET($A$1,ROW($A1),MATCH(Dropdown_cell,$A$1:$B$ 1,0)-1)

Copy down as needed. Note that you need to provide the reference for your
dropdown cell.

I am creating a Game scoresheet and would like to know if I can use a drop
down menu in one cell and automatically fill the below cells with players
of
the drop down selected team.

example

cell 1 TEAM1 TEAM2 <--these are
drop down menus

cell 2 PLayer1 PLayer5
cell 3 Player 2 Player6
cell 4 Player3 Player7
cell 5 Player 4 Player8
