ok, in some TD (tower defence) games I have ended up with my whole team quitting on me and then I end up losing. I think that a very basic idea to balance out the loss of a teammate would be to give extra money to the team with fewer people.
EX. team A has 2 people and team B has 4 people. all members on team A get a double coin bost because they have half the people.
