You have been made manager for the rest of the season .what is your starting line up .I go for
Rico
Sess chambers and ream
Christie. Sess
Seri. Mcdonald
Carney
Babbel
Mitro
Rico
S Sess Odoi Mawson Bryan
Cairney Chambers Seri
Babel Mitro R Sess
For me 4-2-3-1
Rico
Christie Chambers Le Marchand Bryan
McDonald Anguissa
Babel Cairney Sessegnon
Mitrovic
Rico
Odoi Chambers Le Marchand Bryan
Anguissa Seri Cairney
Babel Mitrovic Sessegnon
Obviously Mawson in when fit.
Although we are effectivly down you need to keep trying so next game I would still look at fileding the best team I can. Once we reach a point where we are all honest and say thats it, I would not play any player on loan who will not be here next season and I might even not play a few who we are going to let go for free.
I'd get 3 or 4 of the best younger players in teh 18 man squad and give them some game time to get them ready fro next year.
If everyone fit next week (Apart from mawson I suspect) I would go 532 with..

Surely we will not be allowed to field 12 players? Or some maybe counts as half a player?

Maybe the FA will feel sorry for us and allow it, even then we would probably lose!
This is NOT relevant to next season as most will not be here.

Well, the OP was about the remainder of this season, so it doesn't have to be relevant for next season. However, some have argued that we should pick a team with next season in mind, which all of a sudden does make it relevant for next season.
Come to think of it, I don't see the point of your post in this thread at all. Care to elaborate?

Odoi and Sess as the wing backs
I let Cairney pick the team and organise a bonding session in Vegas with a million quid spending money out of Shahids pocket
Team talk is kept simple , players allowed to express themselves, things can only get better
8 pints of London Pride
3 pints if ESB
Then come out steaming - and cruising for a bruising
In the OP's original team selection the Governor of the Bank of England is the preferred mid field choice. Something we need to Know in these uncertain times?.

to get Cairney into a central position with free role.
Too hard a task for me, all players have had a chance and none have proved to be up to the task, accept Mitrovic of course.
Perhaps first we need to select a new head coach.

+1 and play at least 4 youngsters!!
assuming Mawsom is not fit
Betts (too much flapping and punching from Fico)
Fossey/SS Odoi Nordeviet Ream Bryan
Chambers KMac Frank
Markovic Seri O'Reilly Sess
Shurlle Cairney Babel

If hypothetically I was asked to be in charge for the rest of the season, I would turn it down and refuse, because you should never fight a battle you cannot win, anymore than you would take financial advice from somebody poorer than yourself.
Maybe Nord as cb, and Mawson if fit.
Yes, we need to try and win every game- just because you do, and people are paying to watch.
Never give up until mathmematically impossible, and even then whatever team put out has to try and win their games - and they probably will start winning with no pressure on them!
After Southampton, if FFC chances to stay up are worse than they are now, then FFC should only play those players they are buying, selling, keeping or developing. Unfortuantely, that means Rico, Chambers and Schullre need to rest, while the Sessegnons, Anguissa, Fabri and Markvoic need to play.
Fabri
S.Sess Nordtveit MLM R.Sess
Anguissa Seri
Markovic Cairney Babel
Mitrovic
If Nordtveit, Markovic or Babel don't want to join next season, then Odoi, Kebano and Ayité should replace them respectively.
