I'm flagging this as off-topic ("no research / ELL"). Hi Magreth, it's important to look up a grammar book or a web page on tenses before you ask this kind of question here, as it will often provide the solution. Our Help Centre says "Be sure to mention the research you've done and what you're still hoping to learn!" For further guidance, see How to Ask and take the EL&U Tour :-)

The past perfect tense for your sentence is
I HAD been teamed up.
The other sentence
I HAVE been teamed up.
becomes present perfect.
