Carlsen introduces the seconds he used for the match v Nepomniachtchi .

Perhaps engines have something to do with this; all you need is a player strong enough to make sense of engine output. In other words, a person who would be a good 'correspondence chess centaur'.

I noticed that as well, everyone of them 'cept Carlsen had a laptop infront of them.
Looking at games of future opponents to see if they can spot a weakness or a positional preference. Also scanning other tournaments to see if a TN has been
played that might contain the germ of a new idea.
(however in this case most likely chatting with their facebook friends.)

I imagine expenses are covered and maybe a bonus if your team wins.
Plenty of people would do it for free so I can't imagine they have ridiculous fees.

@jb70 saidon another site, it's being said that Dubov made a mistake by helping Magnus. In the video here, he doesn't look very happy. It wasn't good for his career.
Don’t blame Dubov
The Russians attitude is Dubov betrayed them
It's not about them it's about Dubov
A big learning experience for him

Yes indeed. I would also add that though it's not necessary to surround one's self with super GM's (and their ego's) it's very helpful to have a group that can do their job well, but also works well in a team environment.
