Silly Season 2020

So, my guess

Hyundai, Tanak, Neuville, Loeb and Sordo partial program. Breen R5 program and some wrc outings
Citroën stay for 2020 whit Ogier and Lappi, few WRC drives for Mads
Toyota Rovanperra, Evans, but than,.. Latvalla or Meeke, I think it will be Jari. Taka doing half wrc program.
At M-sport I think they will be happy to welcome Mikkelsen, Suninen wil have to be glad if he can stay there. Greensmith in 3th car for most rally's Paddon Meeke and Pontus whit some private funded drives.

What I hope is for nasser AL athiay to come back for some rally's, teaming up whit Meeke in Toyota's

It's just thinking out loud

I agree with most as things look now.

Only at Toyota I think they might prefer Meeke over Latvala and there is also the question if Rovanpera will be just 4th car (even with full season) and they try to get Mikkelsen or keep the other one of Meeke/Latvala as well.

Then again the "most likely" outcomes lately don't happen so often. Ex. Tanak to Hyundai or Loeb to Hyundai, Meeke to Toyota was also quite unexpected last year as was Lappi to Citroen.

At the moment the Latvala private issues with his crazy ex is not helping him, but Meeke gave him a few bonus points by not finishing in Spain.

Toyota will wait until after Aus.

My guess is Latvala, Meeke and Evans with partial drives for Kalle and Katsuta or Latvala, Evans and Kalle with partial drives for Katsuta and Meeke.

Yes. I've heard that Evans, Suninen and Lappi do only recce.
Katsuta participates in this rally with Yaris WRC.
Someone from Hyundai was supposed to participate in this rally with i20 WRC but it was cancelled.

Kalle is also doing recce only + probably few other drivers doing same.
