Assessment
A whole lot of things could happen right now. Of course Ben Faille is untouchable at the top, but there's a compelling 3-way race for #2 behind him. Then Oleg Urazov is in no-man's land, better than the rest but not good enough to break into the Top 4 yet. Then there's three players trying to hold on to their spot, and so far they've still got the upper hand on the younger players coming up. Even Fraikes has a possibility of doing something, but definitely any three of the six in the Contenders category could make it in, and any three could make it out.
If I had to guess, I say Davide de Laurentiis in, Themis Xanthos out, the rest stays roughly as it is. That's only a guess though. Whether a real switch-up in the Top 8 happens this year or next is still an open question.
