I think The Earth was practiced in one episode, but it lacked the sort of "key moment" that Endou needs to realize in order to pull it off. They didn't try it in the matches because it was a little too convoluted to pull off (The first time they tried it, everyone needed to stand in a circle around the ball.)

Even if Endou pulling off Jet Stream is "protagonist power", I feel it's somewhat justified. As a soccer freak and captain, it wouldn't be unatural for him to be able to adapt in many situation. I mean, he pulled off Inazuma Ichigo Ototoshi before and he's shown to play as a Libero pretty well throughout season 2. The setup for Jet Stream was also to compare with Rococo. One more thing, it was Gouenji and Toramaru that came up with Jet Stream and Fudou joined in later.

As for Aries, since we have three protagonists, it would be nice to see the three protagonists having different values that they would teach to each other unlike Endou's and Tenma's SAKKA = FRIEZES. Their is no superior protagonists, and that they all have their flaws and problem but they are able to overcome because they support each other.

This is how I would play it. This is just speculation/opinion/dream, I am a 100% sure that this is wrong.

Asuto, Haizaki, and Yumma all have different ideas and view about soccer.

Asuto is your usual "soccer" fanboy, but due to his club is threaten to be destroyed. He comes off as slightly selfish because his determination to save his club blinds him from other people's suffering. While there is no doubt that he would probably unite the other two, he is also most likely the weakest in some way.

Haizaki may or may not have something similar to Tsurugi or Kidou, as he seems to be both the antagonist striker and the strategist. Judging from his creepy appearance, he may be suffering from some mental illness that alienates him from others. He values soccer as a fun game and he seems to have a personal trainer/coach (who may or may not be Kudou) that watches over him. While a great strategist, he has trouble coodinating them because

Yumma is your usual "ace" character and probably the best out of the three. However judging from his bored expression in the trailer, It may be that he was too good that he no longer found fun in playing and is just looking for a strong opponent. However, he is aware of how important teamwork is and isn't afraid to rely on others.

Here is how they would help each other.

Both Yumma and Haizaki defeats Raimon and forces Asuto to open his eyes to the reality of the situation.

Yumma defeats Seishou because he is way over everyone's league. He might teach Haizaki to not burden everything to himself.

Asuto gets his second victory against Seishou, in which Haizaki would later join Raimon.

Yumma is either get beaten by the antagonist/final boss team or he is beaten by the combined efforts of Haizaki and Asuto. He would then join Raimon and all three would fight the final boss team.

Also, aside from each other, it would be nice if the three teams get to split to fight different opponents that they would teach or resolve. Like Raimon plays against Hakuren, while Outei plays against Eisei or Zeus etc.

Teikoku would definitely had to play against Seishou because Haizaki already have some sort of connection, what's with his Death Zone.
