I would have been tempted to invite just one player myself but I see the idea. It may have been better to have increased it to twelve with the same three in rather than this but hey ho it's certainly different.

What's the TL;DR on it?

Isn’t this just an admittance from the PDC that the format is getting a bit stale? Because if it wasn’t they wouldn’t have been doing this.

No. If it's anything, it's an admission.

They had an injured Anderson, and probably looked down the OOM and saw:

Whitlock
...
White
Chisnall
Webster
...

and thought, no, they need to do something different.

Darren deserves to be in the pl more than any of the 9 picked for the one off matches.
