I just got promoted and moved the same tactic into league 2, I did improve my team over the summer but I was still tipped for relegation.....I'm currently very early in this new season BUT Nine games in and I've only lost 1 game, the rest have been 6 wins and 2 draws and I'm 2nd in the league.
Wow, this tactic works really well..I'm going to get shredded as soon as teams possess more quality though..
