Heh, it'd be awesome if they thought she was a guy. Reaction to Shirou and Saber would be greatness.
'Specially if they hadn't figured out Saber was a woman until some time after they saw Shirou and Saber.
Also, Archer: Sir Tristan.
'Tristan is a cavalry archer, able to make amazing shots with his bow, similar to a mongol bow, and uses a sword similar to a dao. It seems that he finds a pleasure in killing and is quite good at it. He has a pet hawk, which he greatly treasures and uses as a lookout for Arthur and the rest of the knights in the film. He also fulfills the role of a scout and skirmisher.'

The problem with knights is that they all work best as Saber. However anyone of them could qualify as Rider or Lancer given the nature of their work.
Maybe Pellinore as Lancer from his days of hunting the Questing Beast (which would make for an epic Noble Phantasm), but also because I love the version of him in The Once and Future King.
I have to agree, he might have been evil, he certainly wanted power, but I can't see him as a sneaky and stealthy yet weak Assassin type. In the legends after Arthur ran him through with a spear Mordred pushed himself down it to kill Arthur. For Caster and Assassin you might have to give up on the knights and use other figures or make them very unconventional Servants.
A bit off the question, but can you imagine a war with Mordred, Arthur(ia), Lancelot, and Gawain? The fourth war would be a firecracker compared to it.

I dunno. With magic involved, being a woman might not be an impediment to being the father. 
Also, odds that Sir Questing-Beast-Hunter will kick the shit out of Shinji at the first chance he gets? He was, if memory serves, quite the Knight in Shining Armor. I doubt he'd allow Shinji to continue raping his sister.

Um, actually, he kinda is. . .
You see, Merlin was something of a pervert, and used his magic to give Arturia a penis. It only lasted a couple of days, but that was enough time for her jealous sister <s>Morgause</s> Morgan (so yes, she knew) to collect some sperm and create Mordred. This means Mordred is actually a homunculus like Illyasviel.
<s>It also probably means that Mordred is also a girl but I'm not sure.</s>
EDIT: Corrected a few mistakes.

Compared to normal Grail Wars I think Shinji's odds of surviving would actually go down in this one. In the different routes he survives because he's good at running away and convincing people not to kill him, in a Round Table arc I can't see a Servant (even a Rider under his control) letting him live more than a few days.
@Shiakou, where's that from?

From memory. We talked about it a few years ago in the Beast's Lair when one of the guys tried to create a fanfic where Merlin was, like Happosai, trapped under a stone only to break free during the Fifth Grail War.
Cue horrified Saber.
I'll try to look up some hard evidence.
EDIT:
Here you go.
With the Fuyuki wiki gone, this was the closest thing I could find. I'm not sure but I think the original source material was Nasu's published character sketches.
EDIT2:
The original source is Kimiko Nasu's Character Material; a book which had short biographies and stories on several minor Nasuverse characters.
