I think this might very well imply the reason why Kage didn't pick any top player could be related to the fact that this green menace blob thing is actually impersonating pro soccer players. Basically, by bringing a team of nobodies, he made sure that the team would be unharmed.
 * The team were kidnapped by aliens (or something else) and they take the players forms to participate in the tournament.
 * They really were aliens (or something else) and they dissapeared after the lost against Shinsei Inazuma Japan.
