He's not dead in the anime, his arc hasn't even started yet. Even if ve was im sure beerus or whis could get him a work release like Goku got for the buu saga tourney. With earth on the line it's really irrelevant if he's a good teammate or not they need the strongest people and he's right there with goku and vegeta if not slightly stronger.

He's very much dead in the manga, which is where the picking of tournament players come in. Goku got a day on Earth for being a good guy. Freeza not so much. There is absolutely no reason why Freeza would want to help them unless they are so desperate they permanently bring him back to life. Even then I doubt they would trust him or want his help.
Youre missing the point. Its not about what any of the mortals want. Freeza will do what Beerus tells him to do and Beerus very much wants to keep earth. logically the best way to do that would be using the most powerful mortals which would include freeza. nobody who could object is above beerus so if he wanted it to happen it would happen. from a viewer perspective putting him on the team would open up the most scenarios and shake up dragonball in ways we havent seen before. a lot better than just putting a team of sayains together.
Why will Freeza do what Beerus tells him to do? Freeza is dead. While it is true that Beerus can technically make him more dead, Freeza doesn't know that and if he did he might prefer it to Hell. If keeping Earth is so important to Beerus, why would he bring back a guy who blew it up and would gladly do so again?
Keep in mind Beerus has no reason to think Champa's universe has people capable of standing up to Goku. The best fighters in the 7th Universe are all on Earth while Champa's Earth is a wasteland.
Frieza's dead, right? I haven't kept up with the anime recently, but the manga made a point of noting that Frieza was gone.
Anyway, I think the five should obviously be Vegeta, Goku, Gohan, Gotenks, and Buu. Really, Goku and Vegeta should be the only real contenders though. It'll be awesome to see Gotenks get some action again though, outside of just getting spanked like the child he is, instead of the universe tier SSJ3 seven and a half year old, that he ALSO is, lmao.
And if Gohan started training again? Fangasm. Sorry, but I can't contain myself at the thought of a cannon SSJ3 Gohan, or even SSJB Gohan.
I also like the name Whiss picked for SSJGSSJ. And I LOVED the joke, where Goku bit his tongue from saying it too many times fast. These new manga chapters are pretty great, imo.
