Forget about the free upgrade idea.
An "upgradable" ticket will only be upgraded if:
1. your request manages to get to the top of the list after those with higher status and fare class have been given upgrades - if indeed any are offered.
2. you have enough FF points in your account when the upgrade is offered - if indeed it is offered.
As for the 1% chance, that may well be the case, but you never know. If there are no requests from people with higher status then your 1% may well be 100%. Do you feel lucky?
If you buy the cheapest "non upgradable" ticket, then you won't be able to register for an upgrade request.
