Best I can tell, the cast of Archer got tagged in for the Servants but are still 'channeling' the heroes they are standing in for. Similar abilities, motivations, and desire to punch Emiya, while their disfunctions proceed to fuck up everything.
So far we have seen Pam, Ray, and Archer. Caster's identity is a forgone conclusion at this point. I wonder where everyone else fits in?
Also, Archer mentioned a "last time" they went after the Grail. This makes me quite curious who is going to be our Gilgamesh-proxy. I can see Cyril going off the deep end on that route, but at the same time comedy demands that he be summoned as Rider.

I want Krieger to be Rider, though. That van is pimp!
Cyril can be Caster. No one really understands what he does, anyway.
And Cheryl can be Ruler! I mean, she was almost Queen of Mars.
Though I suppose it'd be pretty great if she were the previous War's last-Servant-standing. Can you imagine her and Kirei? They'd be fetish-dungeon Bonnie and Clyde!
Cheryl: Gasps "Is that a basement full of horrific violating worms!"
Zouken: "...Yes?"
Cheryl: Quivers with excitement "This place is like the therapeutic mud bath of my dreams!"
Zouken "Huh, not the reaction I usually get."

Actually, they were mentioning the last time they worked for the Vatican
As for identities of the remaining Servants, I've already done some foreshadowing on that front. You're probably best off trying to figure out what Servant positions the various members of ISIS could fit into and then narrowing things down from there.
Well...
Rider:Krieger, Sheryl, Lanna
Caster:Krieger, Cyril
Assasin:Lanna, Sheryl, Barry, Other Barry, Mallory, Krieger, ad nausem
Berserker:Same as before adnausem
Avenger:Lanna, Sheryl, Barry, Other Barry, Cyril
Ruler:Mallory, Cyril, Krieger
Saver:Ha, no.
4th Grail Archer:Mallory, Barry, Other Barry
Beast:Yes
Lana - False Assassin, Berserker, Rider,
Cyril - Caster, Berserker, Ruler, False Assassin?, Rider (the rigid airship! the space shuttle! the ladies!)
Cheryl - Berserker, Rider, Ruler
Mallory - Archer if 4th War hangover, Assassin if summoned this time around (oh, goddamnit, I want to see her interact with canon-Caster now)
Krieger - Caster, Rider
Barry - Assassin
Katya - ... Assassin or False, I can't remember if she became head of the KGB after Barry got stuck in space
Woodhouse - False Assassin, Berserker (awwwww~! He and Illya would be so adorable~!)
Burt Reynolds - Rider
Lucas Troy - False Assassin,
Conway Stern - False Assassin, Rider (the helicopter)
And yes, I know that it's only Old Men of the Mountain who get to be real Assassins. You're not my supervisor!

I... I love you.
So Barry totally has to be Berserker right? Suppose Assassin could be Conway Stern or Katryia. Rider should definitely be Burt Reynolds.
Seems like Shirou is channeling Brett.
Also I would just like to point out at one point Ray went by the alias of Ghille de Rais, "Child Murderer."

I see Cheryl as Berserker cause she's kinda nuts.
Barry I can see as Gilgamesh just to piss Archer off with his 'I have every weapon mankind has and will ever create, come at me bro.'

"Oh that's perfect Barry gets to be an invincible demigod." Looks up into the sky "You got any more problems you wanna hurl at me you ass? Well you better hurry up I'm running out of bourbon!"

Same here.
The Fifth Grail War will probably go down in history as some kind of short-lived insane asylum, won't it?

I came in here expecting a Top Gun crossover and got something so much better that I can't help but be satisfied.
It just needs Krieger and it'll be perfect.

This is dredging up memories of Inaccurate Legends. Now I'm waiting for Rin to throw up her hands in exasperation and get on the next plane to Britain.

Shirou was in quite a bit of pain, which was understandable considering the number of times he had been shot, but amazingly he was mostly okay, his wounds having sealed themselves up for the most part. Tohsaka had mumbled something about how it had to be residual effect from what had healed him, but Shirou didn't really understand what she had meant by that. He had however decided to follow her lead in leaving the area before any of the authorities showed up to inquire about the collateral damage inflicted.
Also because apparently they needed to seek out the administrator of this 'Holy Grail War' right away because it had, in Rin's own words, "Gone completely insane."
Shirou was feeling distinctly out of his depth. For one, the Servants he was around were some of the most crass, boorish people imaginable. Rin had actually begged him for alcohol as it was apparently the only thing that could be used to keep her 'Servant' quiet for any length of time. While Archer had been irritated over the bottle of cheap cooking wine Shirou had available, he had taken it anyway, chugging and occasionally muttering that his blood alcohol level was getting dangerously low.
Rin had more than once yelled at him that he didn't even have blood, which made him chuckle and go, "Oh yeah, that's awesome."
Rin had also spent some time explaining what exactly was going on, or at least trying to because the whole situation was driving her up the walls. Apparently there was some sort of ritual that occurred periodically in the city in an attempt to obtain the mythical Holy Grail, which was supposed to be able to grant any wish, that involved a fight to the death between seven magi who served as Masters to the incarnations of Heroic Spirits called Servants. Heroic Spirits were supposed to be exactly what their names implied, the spirits of great and legendary heroes summoned forth from the mythical and fantastical past.
Instead, they got Archer and Pam.
The two of them had confirmed that they worked for a spy agency called ISIS, although despite her obvious combat skills only Archer actually had combat training, with Pam being the Head of Human Resources, a fact that had Rin screaming and crying that this was supposed to be a serious event, and then... and then Shirou sort of went blank in an oddly familiar way and then Rin had regained some of her composure and started grilling the two servants as they walked towards the church out in the outskirts of the city that was where the Grail War administrator was stationed.
Well, Rin grilled Pam, while Archer just drank the cheap cooking wine Shirou had provided and pointedly ignored them. What was revealed was not promising, what with the entire ISIS staff apparently being part of some sort of insane, dysfunctional office drama that involved debauchery, perversion, and murder with alarming frequency. Also, when they were from was incredibly confusing, as they referenced the Soviet Union like it was still around while also making references to things that sounded like they hadn't actually happened yet.
While Rin was obviously upset because the Grail was evidently doing something it wasn't supposed to, Shirou was upset in a more subtle way. Even if something was going terribly wrong like Rin suspected, somehow these despicable people had been deemed 'heroes' by some power, and that clashed with the core of Shirou's being. Heroes were supposed to be better than these two, they weren't supposed to be a bunch of selfish and self-centred misanthropes who were more concerned about their own comfort than the basic well being of those around them. Even if somehow false, the idea was dissonant for him.
Sighing, Shirou found himself looking out over the city while he waited for Rin to figure out why the church that was supposed to be where the administrator of the whole ritual was situated. His attention wandering as he took in distant details, he eventually found his eye attracted to an object nearly too far away to see if not for its size and obnoxious decoration.
"What are you frowning at?" Pam, his supposed Servant, asked in a manner that suggested that she wasn't really interested in knowing the answer but that it was her job to check up on these sorts of things, which was what she actually enjoyed doing.
"Oh, just noticed some van on the road. Its bigger than most I've seen and has an outlandish paintjob so it was rather out of place, but it's out of sight now," Shirou explained.
"Huh," Pam noted. It sounded like she was about to add on something else when a feminine scream of indignant outrage was heard, and she instead asked, "What's got her panties in a bunch?"
Stomping over, Rin came up to the pair and said, "It took me forever to find, but there was a magically hidden message that says that he knows about the 'Servant Issue' - Lancer had to have been around for a few days and I complained about Archer yesterday - but since the emergency procedure for dealing with truly unruly Servants is to summon more Servants, the only way to deal with this is to proceed with the Holy Grail War as planned and hope nothing else goes wrong." Rin had to grit her teeth and grind the heel of shoe over that before she then added on, "Also, apparently he's busy right now dealing with Church business."
Materializing with what appeared to be a bottle of communion wine in his hand, Archer noted, "Maybe Krieger's here. That guy's like a walking sin against God." He then began to chug the bottle.
Rin rolled her eyes and then said, "Now that I know this isn't my fault, if the Church decides to purge this whole War I think I could be happy with it." Growling in frustration and stomping a foot, she then said, "I don't particularly want to lose when this is a once in a lifetime chance though."
Shirou... Shirou felt that it wouldn't be so bad if no one won this whole thing, but his dad had told him about how when the Church felt that there were dangerous supernatural creatures about - which included Heroic Spirits he supposed - they could get a little bit cavalier about collateral damage. The Mage's Association too. He wanted the path of least destruction, which might be to win this thing.
He and Archer shared a glare with each other, and Shirou made up his mind that whatever else he did, Archer was not going to get a chance to make a no-restrictions wish. He would fight to make sure of that.
Materializing a pistol of some sort in his hand, Archer asked Shirou bluntly, "You glare at me like that kid, that mean you want to go? Because we can go; right here, right now."
Before either Shirou or Rin can respond, there is a female voice from the out of the night fog rolling in off the hills, raised in laughter. Turning towards the source of the sound, a small girl of unnaturally pale complexion and dressed in purple furs emerges from the concealment and says, "Well this is a funny scene to see you in, isn't it Onii-chan?" A dark silhouette steps into view, barely, behind her.
Far away, a golden figure smirks in observation and then notes, "This will be amusing, don't you think, Gilgamesh?"
He chuckles and then says, "That it will Other Gilgamesh, that it will."

So... this is Gilgamesh's fault ?
Ordinary theater is not good enough for him so he fiddled with the grail system ? To have a clusterfuck to laugh only he could produce ?
