i cant beat much wors enemies ! whats wrong? my formation?

ok i am insane right now. i am level 3 and i have a 30q team. i am the best in my leage but still second. my best enemies in my league are two enemies with 23q and someone other with 20q. i played with the 23q guy and i lost in my court 0-1 o.O while i was countering his tactic. now i played with the other 20q guy and i got a draw. we had exactly the same tactic (4-4-2) and the same arrows and every player i had was better on any position but still couldnt beat him? generally i have problems beating enemies over 20q and i dont know why!! whats wrong? what should i do to win this league easily ? what tactic and settings should I use?
