My guess is that most of them will be "wildcards", people that have no political experience / ties whatsoever and were chosen because they were experts or at least moderately successful in their chosen field.

Thiel kind of fits that profile, ignoring his recent antics.

The one I'm watching (and this guy: http://www.forbes.com/sites/timworstall/2016/11/09/president...) is Peter Navarro. Presumably Trump is going to find 2 more people and make up a council, like Obama's: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Council_of_Economic_Advisers, but it's an interesting data point as to whether Navarro ends up as chairman.
