Don't underestimate a high school soccer manager!!!
A world-line where the Gintama cast are all thrown into the soccer club of the same modern high school. From 1st to 3rd years, the club is packed with nothing but problem children. Practice is a non-stop parade of brawls, slacking off, mayonnaise, and nonsensical strategy meetings. And yet, for some reason, they're incredibly strong when it comes to actual matches.

17 years old 2nd Year High School Position: MF/OMF (Attacking Midfielder) A problem child who hits the trifecta of slacking off, being late, and sleeping in the clubroom. However, he's a natural genius who suddenly gets serious during matches. He has a wide field of vision, finding gaps in the opponent's defense to deliver decisive passes in an instant. He often goes for goals himself. The "best player despite having zero motivation" type.
17 years old 2nd Year High School Position: MF/CMF (Central Midfielder) The practical leader of the soccer club. A playmaker type who shows up in both offense and defense, reading the flow of the game to give instructions to teammates. He's serious about practice and snaps daily at the slacking Gintoki and the other fooling-around members. "Do some actual soccer, you bastards!" is becoming his catchphrase.
17 years old 2nd Year High School Position: FW/LW (Left Wing) Silent and detached, but his soccer skills are top-tier within the club. His weapons are his dribbling and cutting in from the left side, sometimes breaking down the opposing defense single-handedly. He skips practice some days, but on the days he shows up, he's somehow better than anyone else. He's constantly competing with Gintoki. He's such a free spirit that people think, "This guy definitely fits the Go-Home Club better than the Soccer Club."
17 years old 2nd Year High School Position: FW/CF (Center Forward) Usually smiling, but he's a dangerous striker who plays like he's stalking prey once the match starts. His physical ability and speed are abnormal, and he'll force his way to the goal even with a difficult ball. He seems to enjoy the act of scoring itself, smiling happily every time he bypasses an opposing defender.
16 years old 1st Year High School Position: FW/RW (Right Wing) A problem child who is already a regular despite being a 1st year. The type to run freely down the right side, taunting opposing defenders while dribbling past them. He's also a skilled shooter and is merciless in front of the goal. During practice, he does nothing but harass Hijikata, but their coordination during matches is strangely excellent.
17 years old 2nd Year High School Position: MF/CMF (Central Midfielder) He looks like he's playing soccer seriously... but he's an eccentric midfielder who occasionally proposes nonsensical strategies during a match. He has great passing sense and vision, and is good at switching between offense and defense. He acts like he's been friends with Gintoki and Hijikata for ages, but he remains perfectly serious throughout.
18 years old 3rd Year High School Position: DF/CB (Center Back) Captain The reliable (?) 3rd-year senior of the soccer club. He looks after his juniors well and serves as the team's mood maker. He excels at physical defense, stopping opponents more tenaciously than anyone else in front of the goal. He's usually a goofball, but he's a surprisingly dependable big-brother figure during matches.
17 years old 2nd Year High School Position: DF/CB (Center Back) A bright and boisterous 2nd-year CB. His defense is quite rough, the type to charge in thinking, "Well, it'll work out somehow!" He often stops opponent attacks through sheer physical ability and momentum. Even if he makes a mistake, he doesn't let it get to him at all; if anything, he seems to be having fun.
16 years old 1st Year High School Manager A 1st-year manager. She's supposed to look after the members, but before anyone knows it, she's the one bossing them around the most. She's surprisingly good at her job, managing drinks and equipment perfectly. However, she is mercilessly angry if any member slacks off. She is particularly harsh toward Gintoki.
18 years old 3rd Year High School Manager A 3rd-year manager who acts as a big-sister figure to the members. Usually gentle and reliable, but if the members get carried away, she will dispense discipline with a smile. Especially when Kondo does something unnecessary, the atmosphere in the clubroom freezes instantly.
