You've got a better chance of an op-up to F if both J & Y are booked on your current flight. But AFAIK and from personal experience, EK wont re-book you on an F ticket just because you're willing to be offloaded. Instead you'll receive a denied boarding compensation ticket which will be the same value as a return flight to/from your destination.
Objective is op-up to F. As I live in HK, an extra day in HK is not really inconvenient and no need for hotel etc and flying a few hours later is not an issue either.

Thank you for the info regarding the denied boarding compensation. I was just figuring that rebooking on F would be cheaper for them.
