I do think it's the sort of thing that needs freshening up, but this will probably end up being more repetitive than the previous installments. Think the lineup will be exactly as you said
Ross Montgomery, tour card holder. There's a sentence I wasn't expecting to say ever. Luc Peters got one in the EU, he was unlucky last year having got to the same final and just missing out on points. Vandenboegarde, van Dongen and Kevin Doets (who was in a similar spot to Peters and nearly did enough on the Pro Tour to make the worlds, iirc he was the last man out) are locks on points in the EU, Jamie Clark has locked one up in the UK with Burnett, Waites and Burness in extremely strong positions to get back on tour
