Unfortunately, I don't have a screenshot, but when OLCI opened at T-48, all of a sudden, there were about 10 empty seats available to choose from in Y. Every seat in this cabin apart from exit/bulhead seats were taken and the same with the other Y cabins and practically all middle seats only left (except for exit/bulheads which are allocated at the airport).
Expertflyer showed the same as the EK App up until the same time. You can never go on what expertflyer seatmaps show.

Yeah seatmap will not show actual tickets for sale. The EF flight availability data is correct. If there are seats opened up at T-48, maybe it might be points upgrades or op ups being processed that causes the opening up of Y seats.
