The team will sync for the specific periods (for example, the English team will pick two articles each week). The team captain will submit the articles to the Wiki Community Council to feature them. So the real responsibility is communication as a team and recommendations/voting for what should be featured each time. (For example, Russian is four new articles each month.) As we get more contributions for each language, the cadence will increase accordingly.
The Featured Article Team Captains (1 per language) are invited to become captains by the current Community Council member assigned to this area. They are selected from the existing team members. Responsibilities:
Current period length: One-week periods. Two new articles each week.

So, I am listed in 2 teams but I am not sure what I am supposed to do exactly.
You already did it! You helped the Russian team decide on four articles to feature. I'll get the English team going once we get through featuring the TechNet Guru winners. Thanks!
I'm still not sure how to choose that articles. Is it on my own preferences or do we have an access to some stats?
