I played an opponent in my league today who killed me 5-0, but look at his lineup!

He has all 6-star players which is fine, but he also has a 9-star striker. How is it possible to have a player that much better especially on the opening day of the season?

Even if he intentionally lost the last few seasons he wouldn't have a 9 star player. And anyway, I looked at his trophies and he came in 2nd in his league last year, and 1st in the two seasons before that.

Has anyone ever seen a 9-star player on their opponents team in a league match? This is not a friendly where our levels are different. It's a league match.
