Colin Clark's Kitchen Table suggests Gus Greensmith will do a mix of WRC2 and some WRC events (like Suninen in 2017) and perhaps Eric Camilli is doing the same.

That would mean only 1 seat left at Msport and possibly not even that if they go with 2 cars.
I believe Citroen ends with Loeb sharing with either Østberg (if they need money) or Breen (if they don't).
So for Msport it might be between Evans, Paddon or Breen. Hard pick, though I rank Evans lowest from those 3, given this being his 4th full season.
Wilson has said they clearly cant do what they did in the last two years and his priority has to be paying the wages of everyone working at M-Sport.
So it sounds like will only be drivers with money and sponsors there in 2019. Evans therefore looks very vunerable...
Mate, it's a thread called Silly Season 2019. There is plenty of unfounded speculation in here, that's the nature of it.
Speaking of which, I can't imagine Hyundai and Paddon will part, the two clearly have a good corporate relationship in New Zealand and Mikkelsen's disappointing year and Sordo's increasing age means there's a higher chance of a full-time seat opening for him there in 12 months time.
There's a bunch of other guys challenging for that seat as well. Hyundai didn't sign Huttunen for nothing and Rovanperä will more than likely take one of the WRC seats in 2020 (meaning either Meeke or Latvala will be available). Whatever their program will be, I'd say 2019 is quite a critical year for careers of both, Mikkelsen and Paddon. Sordo's somewhat different in this context as he's not even chasing a full-time seat.
