Anyways, to think on the more lielly side of who shouldn't/should be one of the 7, let's thnk about it in terms of the Gods. Nico, atm, cannot be  am mebr of the 7 logically bequest here is already a child of Hades/Pluto  in the quest. Of what we think we know are the seven is(with specific name[for kid], then other name after):

Jason - Jupiter(Zeus)

Percy - Poseidon(Neptune)

Hazel - Pluto(Hades)

Frank - Mars(Ares)

Leo - Hephaestus(Vulcan)

Piper - Aphrodite(Venus)

Annabeth - Athena(Minerva)

Now then, Annabeth everyone seems to be quite shaky on, so(and it seems we all do) we can assume she is the most lily to not be one of the 7. What other major gods are there?

Hera, and Artemis are obviously out of the picture. That leaves Demeter, Dionysus, Apollo, and Hermes, as potentials to have children on the quest. The only other more logical character i can think of is a child of some sort of god that retained the same name and general identity from greek to roman culture, but I'm not sure what god that would be.

The, there is also another theory that i've come up with, where Annabeth is one of the 7, but two of the 7 die at some point, as the sacrifices. The 2 most likely in my mind are Frank and Hazel. why?

They are both the closest to death. hazel sin't supposed to be alive at all, and Frank isn't exactly supposed to live long. It would make a lot of sense if they died, plot wise, as that clears Nico to take the place as one of the 7(as you no longer have the predicament of 2 children of the same god on the team), and would mean Reyna would also become a member. this way, even though you lose the Child of the War god, you till have the uniquely Greek war goddess, as well as having the balance of the uniquely Roman war goddess, Bellona. Because of reasons I already mentioned, it is also pretty convenient to explain.

The only flaw there is that it leaves only 2 Romans(Jason & Reyna) on the team, while you have 5 Greeks(Percy, Nico, Leo, Piper, and Annabeth). Pluto is not part of the Di Consentes so Hazel is kinda the odd one out.
