In this respect, ModelChoiceField is the same as all other fields. You
can either pass the "initial" parameter to the field when you construct
it. Or, as in your case, if the value changes for each case, pass in the
value as part of the "initial" parameter to the form when you create the
form. For example, you could create the form like this:
player = PlayerForm(initial={"country": 6})
The value you pass in is the same as the value that will normally be
stored in that field, which for models, I believe is going to be the
primary key value.
At rendering time (when you write "{{ form.country }}") in your
template, Django will populate the drop down using (in order of
preference, from most important to least): the form's "data" dictionary,
the form's "initial" dictionary, the field's initial value parameter.
