I also can't see Tsurugi leaving Shinsei Inazuma Japan. And if he does, (just like you say) I guess he will make a comeback in a different team, maybe something with the aliens?

I wouldn't mind if Kirino would join, but I still think it will be Hakuryuu. I think Hakuryuu would fit better since he is a completely new character to the anime (expect the movie). I don't think it will be Shinsuke, but if he will become the new member, then maybe he will play as a defender again? But I guess that Tetsukado will leave then, since he is a defender. But just like Hakuryuu, I don't see Shinsuke sitting on the bench.
