One of the ways I imagine that they could try to explain away why there's only three members from Raimon is that there's a rule in the forming of a national team that you can't include more than 3 members from a single team, which would make it so even if there was a star player in a weak team, he/she would still have a chance to play in the national league. But it doesn't make practical sense to include so many amateurs. I get the Tobitaka angle, but for 8 people? In a NATIONAL team?

But they could be pulling a fast one. Remember that in the first couple of artworks and such for CS they had Yuuichi as prominent feature, and seemed to be pushing him as a main character. We all know what happened with that. Also, they wore the Tenmas gear, which made it seem like it would be the new main outfit. But they only wore them I think three times in the game. At this point, it really could go either way.
