Put the players in a list.
player_list = [player1, player2, player3... ]
So if you want to get to player1 data, you use player_list[0][0...2],
which would be the same as player1[0...2].
If you then want to do something to every player, you could do:
for player in player_list:
do something

Functions return values. To keep the return value, you simply have to
assign it to a variable:
result = choose_player(3)
And then you can do whatever you want with result. Bear in mind that
result and player3[3] are *not* the same thing, they only have the same
value.
HTH!
