I would love it to just go back to the way it was before, not them sprouting big people and animals out of their backs. I'm missing it. I dunno if I want them to go back so much as take a different route. As much as I enjoy Endou and friends, I really feel like its time we said goodbye and moved on to an entirely new cast in a new setting. The series has constrained itself to the same characters and archetypes for so long now, and what with Avatars and Souls, they've built themselves up so far that if they go anywhere else, they'll end up leaving characters incapable of such things (from a story standpoint) behind (as they did in all of GO's seasons).

That's why I feel that its time Inazuma Eleven took a new direction and stopped constraining itself to older ideas. It's very likely that the creator feels a similar why, judging from various statements he's made, and it's not like it's impossible. They wouldn't need Keshin, they wouldn't need Souls, they could start fresh, keeping basic mechanics and building onto them with entirely new ones. The sky's the limit, really, and there's so much freedom for what the franchise can be if they just try something new.
