Has some answers on what it's like to work with Steam once you have a game on it. It looks like requesting promotion at a certain time is something you'd be able to do, though with limited space for midweek and weekend deals I wouldn't want to guess at how successful it might be.
From a recent update it looks like they added an easier way to request to be part of their week long deals which do offer added visability, though not as much as the midweek deals.
As far as success of sports text sims on Steam it's a pretty big range between
Football Manager often having more concurrent players than any non-Valve title to
OOTP peaking at 182 and
Franchise Hockey Manager still stuck in Greenlight limbo 4 months later
