Does holding my game after apple review affect whether its featured or not?

Hi Buildbox community!

So I'm currently working on a game (my biggest yet). I wanted to hold onto the app and release it after I get the word out and build some what of a fan base. My question is the following, if I hold the app and release it on a saturday or monday; would this affect my chances of getting featured by apple? Would they email me and let me know that it will be featured the following week? Or should I let apple release the app after review? I would appreciate some help on this. Preferebly someone who has had their app featured. Thank you in advance.
