Well, for one thing Expert Flyer is not always accurate, so you got that working for you. I have been on a flight with plenty of seats left when it shows all 0s. I have also been op-up when Expert Flyer shows 9s down to L class, so to me Expert Flyer is a good reference guide, but not 100% accurate.
As for mileage upgrade, you can still request to be put on waitlist, like I said, it's not completely 100% accurate, and also, you might get lucky that there are no shows in the cabin you want to upgrade to.
