I realize that if you play a good match with a team then you are likely to want to chose them. My question is how does a team that can contribute points that the top 10 teams are contributing get chosen for an alliance of teams they have not played with which is very likely in a field of 86.

Because, like I said already, Average contribution score does not take in consideration the little nuances that happen during the actual matches. Contribution score can be altered by another team tipping your robot, the other team completely shutting you down with defense, and many other unexpected events.
Average contribution also ignores any defensive robot that managed to "prevent" team scoring.
There are many factors that decide the quality of play, and contribution points may be one of them, but it is definitely not the main one.
