Question LH cash upgrades

Hi guys, I've noticed there are many topics about this, related to mileage posting, booking class codes for upgrades (and questions about upsell), cost and availability. (I hope I've looked for it enough before posting, feel free to delete it if I'm mistaken!)
Well, it is known LH offers cash upgrades at check-in (and sometimes at gate). I've seen many telling their experiences inbound to Germany, but never heard of such upgrades ex- FRA/MUC/DUS, does anyone have any experiences with that? Are they available?
Also, I'll be flying Y (discounted fare) GRU-MUC on november 4th, therefore, i have a few questions:
Has anyone ever tried/got an UPG on LH ex GRU?
I've searched on flightstats.com about the load which showed F4; C5; Y9 (Y,B,M and 6U fares still available). --> AFAIK it means it is supposed to be quite a full flight, with that load, what are the cash upg chances Y-->C?
Last but not least, being *A Silver helps in that case? (will only reach gold with upcoming trips this end of year)
Thank you all!
Cheers!
