Welcome Aussiebattler (both here and the QF forum),
I too used to be on DONE4s and since starting on FT went for WP and easily got it and will retain it on DONE4s. In fact I am finishing mine off this August - we may bump into each other!
So as an example here is an itin that includes some MR's but will also assure you get to WP (assuming you are starting from 0 SCs which you may not be for this year):
syd-jfk-lax-mia-ord-lax-lhr-ath-lhr-dxb-lhr-nrt-hkg-nrt-mel-syd
Total miles = 48172
Total SCs = 1410
SYD-JFK maximizes miles and SCs. Do at least one transcon in NA, added some sectors in NA, leave NA from LAX to maximize miles and SCs, included ATH but added LHR-DXB-LHR turnaround as over the 2700 mile for SC miximisation, some sectors in Asia, NRT-MEL to take you over the 5000 mile mark for SCs, and back to SYD.
This can be further maximised for miles and SCs and to use all 20 sectors, but given your time constraints that may be out of the question.
Good luck with this. If we catch up happy to shout you a beer (and possibly give you a sneak preview of an F lounge you can soon be enjoying!)
