The next world champion?

[Simon Rogers]

I still see Nakamura as the biggest threat. His unpredictability is his lethal weapon. It is difficult to prepare for Nakamura as a result.
Yes, it's true that Nakamura has to qualify first, but so does everyone else.
Nakamura will be World Champ for a few years then possibly the wonderkid from India GM Leon Mendonca looks promising. There are also a number of youngsters from China according to the FIDE list.

I wonder whether unpredictability is really an effective weapon in the format of a world championship match? Scoring a surprise win isn't enough - he would need to consistently match Carlsen, which so far there is no indication he could do.
