It's interesting reading through everyone's suggestions here, especially Tiamat who I hadn't considered before. I don't think there's going to be any Vali team grabbing as people who suggest Ley Fey and Kuroka put down. If anything, then I think Ise will start amassing servants from the stories that will be coming up. We already see that Magicians and Vampires are in the future and with Ise's personality it's not a far shot to suggest that he can somehow recruit them. Ravel is basically a shoe-in by this point and I think that's a very good thing - she'd make a very good bishop and she has some bravery to her. We haven't seen her directly fight, but I have a feeling as she grows, she might be able to give Raiser a run for his money.

Asia and Xenovia have stated in the earlier volumes that they want to follow each other into Ise's peerage. Obviously Ise would be fine with it, but it's not like I exactly see a falling out of characters even if Ise becomes independent. Since Rias and Ise are fiances, they're still going to be extremely close and characters like Asia will still be there with Ise. The author himself seems to want to set it up this way in any matter, because he make Rasse Asia's familiar which goes along with the whole dragon theme and the remark Azazel made that Asia needs to be protected somehow (possibly by summoning monsters).

It's quite clear that Ise needs to pick out an appropriate Queen to hold together everything. Ophis is out and people have brought up Tiamat which I like a lot. If you look at the Queens of all the other teams it's quite clear what sorts of qualities they need to have. Akeno, Abaddon, Grayfia and other Queens all have certain qualities that puts them in that position. For Ise, this would be a purely speculative position at this point, though Volume 14 brings up some interesting candidates.

King: Issei Hyoudou

Queen:  Wait and see ( I like Tiamat suggestion)

Knight: Xenovia (high possibility), Wait and see (Probably a high technique type)

Bishop:  Ravel, Asia

Rook:  For both, none come to mind as good candidates

Pawns:  None yet, people have suggested Abe which is interesting though I don't know if she's suited for combat.

As one user previously suggested some teams, I think a variety team would be quite interesting. It seems as if the author like drawing from many mythologies and he probably has it in mind to make a team from various different ones. When Ise spoke with Millicas, he rose an interesting point which Ise may take to heart in how to build a team in which he used Sirzechs as a model. This could be a large foreshadowing to how Ise might start recruiting his harem. I think we might be past a Norse recruit though you never know, and we might see a Greek, Egyptian or Hindu recruit (I say Egyptian because the author lists Aten as one of the top ten strongest). A vampire or magician seems likely too, so we'll have to wait and see. One running constant on very strong teams however seems to be multi-pawn players as we see in the teams of Sairaorg, Sirzechs, Rias, Sona.
