2021 lineup could be full season for Katsuta, Rovanpera, Tanak. If 4th car is needed in some events it could be Meeke or Latvala in case they are free.
2020 guess could be full season for Tanak. Latvala and Meeke would be evaluated based to results on first quarter and one of them would continue to do a full season. The other would split 3rd-4th car after Q1 with Katsuta and Rovanpera whom would do a selected rounds.

That's like silly season craziness squared, already making predictions for two years ahead!
But let's just say that if Latvala and Meeke don't up their game, they're out of Toyota and the whole WRC. And I could easily see Rovanperä driving already a full season next year.

The question is who is free to replace them and will surely do better?

If Rovanpera would do full season in 2020, besides Tanak. Then it could be 50-75% for Katsuta. Another 50-75% for Latvala or Meeke, the other one remaining as non-competing test driver. Latvala and Meeke both known for good technical skills. For TGR it is not impossible to run 4 cars 50% or more from season.

More crazy assumptions. Please don't cling onto Meeke and Latvala. There are other drivers who are interested in Toyota and whom Toyota are likely interested in. Katsuta will stick around for sure but I would say his role in 2020 will still be WRC2, testing and driving the fourth car occasionally. Besides, Toyota hasn't been keen on driver rotation, opting instead for full seasons.
Transmissiom issue for Lappi, Hyundai said. But why no footage then from WRC+..?
