1 to 5 aren't really "blowing anyone's mind", apart from Infinite Dreams. I hope I'm wrong and something like OTGDY or NPFTD shows up.

So, I finally made my setlist. I would say it's rather safe setlist. There are only 2 songs I would consider deep cuts - Killers and Infinite Dreams. I assume Maiden boys are thinking Rime is also deep cut for the fans but most of us expect this song to feature in the setlist so it's not a suprising deep cut, but that's another subject whetever Rime is or isn't deep cut.
One of the hardest to guess is opener, but I think it would work great to have Phantom at that spot.
One might save I play it safe and it is indeed little bit boring setlist. But if I would make a setlist what I would love to hear instead of what I think is most realistic then couple of changes. SSOASS instead of Powerslave - although Powerslave is great song, I have already heard it and it has been played more recently than 7th Son. Murders instead of Wrathchild and that might actually come true. Song that I wish they would play is Afraid to shoot Strangers, just pinnacle Maiden melody. I would replace Clairvoyant with Afraid to shoot Strangers in a heartbeat. And most unlikely song that I would love to hear is No Prayer for the Dying, but that's fantasy, but if so then it eould be instead of Killers. To Tame a Land has very small chance, but my 3 most wanted epics would still remain Phantom, Rime and 7th Son.

I think I have at least 12 songs, but the order is extremely hard to guess compared to Future Past where I felt some songs were quite obvious. At least if they were early or later in the set.

Yeah I think you got 12 at least, but I don't see Hallowed being that early in the set. We'll see. It's difficult to predict the order

Agreed. However, I would absolutely love to see songs like Hallowed and/or Run to the Hills being played a lot earlier than their usual spot has been for a very long time. Run to the Hills, for example, is a great closer, but being played early on would be a great way to "fake" some freshness to it. I know that The Trooper, as far as the performance goes, wasn't at it's most intense in the encore spot for LOTB 2022 & Future Past tour, but I was certainly a lot more... excited and open for it like that! The most generic place for it would've been right after The Time Machine, but I think that might have been just another going-through-motions kind of a performance and made me feel like "well let's get this out of the way then" where as The Prisoner was extremely fresh and welcome in that place and made a lot of fans pleasantly surprised.
Of course I get that such appeal is mostly for the hardcore fans hungry for deep cuts, but you know, their setlist thinking with the Future Past just made me extremely happy.
So yeah, I hope we'll see some of that fresh thinking with RUN FOR YOUR LIVES too! Maybe not quite as much with the song selection itself, but the running order can have a huge impact for real. Play Run to the Hills, Fear of the Dark or Hallowed be Thy Name early on... or alternatively, put Fear of the Dark in the encore! Or Phantom of the Opera as the closer, even?
Well, we will find out soon enough..! I better prepare my entry for the contest, too...

I wonder if there was a big hint at the final song in the FTTB guidelines on the fanclub forum
A huge amount of work went into making the Run For Your Lives Tour fit for a 50th Anniversary, and we’re giving you the best view in the house: the very front row! We ask, on behalf of the band staring right down at you, that you refrain from intrusive filming of the show. Enjoy the unique, privileged, experience fully – by all means take a quick ‘look where I am’ snap but please put the phone away and politely ask others to do the same. Come the last song (Can you guess what it is?) by all means ‘fill your boots’ but until then let’s be more mid-80’s about our concert-going experience shall we?
Has to be Run to the Hills?

Good and nice one! I'm close to yours, the only difference in mine is Die with your boots on instead of Rime (and the order).
