I would imagine most of the extra traffice will be using WAGN services

these services instead of using the Victoria from Seven Sisters, though
south of Finsbury Park it will be a lot busier then usual.

I'm not so sure. During the week, those WAGN trains will be running into
Moorgate. People who usually use the Piccadilly line presumably want to go
to King's Cross, Bloomsbury, Holborn or the west end; WAGN trains aren't
going to help them. The Victoria line, on the other hand, even if it
doesn't go exactly where they want, at least gets them to the right end of
town.

"People who usually use the Piccadilly" could be heading _anywhere_,
e.g. to change to the Victoria at Finsbury Park, or the Northern at
K-X.
