Well, now it looks like that only Fudou and Kiyama/Endou are going to be injured and then Hino has his objective: introduce all new players from Ares and Orion. That's why there was a voting for 3 replacement players for Japan in the first place. Start with 19 players, 4 players are out already (Gouenji, Kidou, Fubuki, Kazemaru), that makes it 15 players, and since most teams have 16 players, removing Fudou and Kiyama/Endou will make the amount of players 13 and add those replacement players together will make it 16. If Hino has a problem with 3 goalkeepers, put Saginuma as a midfielder. He played that position in Neo Japan from the original series and Japan is going to be low on midfielders: Inamori, Nosaka, Hiura and Ichihoshi. You need a reserve midfielder like Saginuma, since the replacement players are most likely going to be Aphrodi, Mizukamiya and Atsuya. That way Endou is staying captain and in the team, because removing Endou from the series would make the series dead. Because it might be a parallel universe, but it's still the same timeline, so removing the symbol of the original series would not make any sense at all and a lot of Inazuma Eleven fans are also Endou-fans.
