Benitez has expressed his frustration at the lack of talent coming through and moves to restructure the youth structure began when former Liverpool winger Steve Heighway stepped down as academy coach in April 2007.
Heighway Pinball's solution is to introduce inductive switch technology: solid state sensors beneath the playfield, well out of the way of flying steel balls, which are triggered when a ball passes by without any physical contact.
Monalisa Codling is the only other member of the squad to have played in all three previous triumphs, while four other players - Fiao'o Faamausili, Victoria Heighway, Emma Jensen and Casey Robertson - will be aiming for a hat-trick of titles.
