Fast tracking B team from unplayable league to playable league.

[shakturi101]

My board created a B team during the pre season, but it is a semi professional team in a non-playable league. I would like to try to fast track the team to a playable league (it is the next league). I have been looking online and it is stated that it is a random chance for promotion based on reputation. In order to best give myself a chance, should I sign some higher rep players and place them in the league in order to give myself a chance? What are some other ways to increase my chance other than using editor/save scumming? 

 

Thanks for the help.
