I don't think you know what the word "useless" really mean, do you? A useless player is someone who can't do anything even in his own position, and a team with a player like that would most likely to lose no matter how many Souls they have. Shinsuke has only played 1 match in the anime so far, but his job of defending the goal is far better than what we've imagined. Taking several shoots from the opponent with his condition being injured like that, and he only let in 2 goals. If he is really that "useless" like you said, then he couldn't have stopped ANY of them.

And as for the Chrono Stone series, do not believe what the anime has showed. The anime makers did a really "good" job to create highlights for the rival teams, and Shinsuke is just simply a victim of those highlights, that's all.
