Just booked for next May. Thanks OP!
We went to Madrid last weekend on the 767. Really impressed with Madrid, was a lovely place. Looking forward to the next trip.
Managed to select 1A for my wife who is a lowly blue! She'll probably get kicked out!

On a more serious note would any of you more knowledge ones know if it will be a 4 class 777? As its showing on the seat map or 3 Class. It's probably a guess and I understand anything can happen between now and March...

Does this mean we get bumped down into plain old Club World as Silvers?

So I booked this, and it won't let me choose one of the first 4 rows it shows me but instead tells me this is my seat:-
10K (undefined)
So beware if you're a Silver, you won't get into First!

I assume the First cabin will be for Golds and higher with a CE ticket on a first come first served basis. Then the Club World cabin for all other CE ticketholders. If the load in CE isn't that large, I can see reassignments so that all CE ticketholders are in the CW cabin.
Will be interesting whether the WTP cabin is kept closed, or used as overspill from ET (or even CE if there is an abnormally large load).
Plenty of propensity for things to change over the next few months.

If they have no-one seated in First, the staffing for that cabin goes from 2 down to one. So in reality I very much doubt First will be open, but I would imagine CE and Golds will be allowed CW. WTP is regarded as ok for CE on shorthaul, I've seen that a few times when they ran 747s to FCO to recover passengers stranded by an ATC strike, also when I had a 777 to ATH after a 767 went technical about a year ago.
If you reserve a seat in F, when do you think you'd be moved back to CW (subject to low loads)?

I have also booked as silver. Just shows first cabin all blanked out. Additionally, the system currently will not let me change from 11B to a different seat in CW.
