Offtopic but...
That is because they knew the game better than you do or they are just lucky, it happens...
Sometimes stars just don't cut it. Look at player form, and don't let underperformers enter your starting line up. Use rest packs and train them they will get better.
You saw their 2* getting a 8 in your match while all your players is 6* getting a 6? You can do that too if you know how to filter the gems out from the trash bin. The "more stars equals better player" thing is basically untrue.
And study the formation combo that will give you more chances for goals but fewer chances for your opponent.
this is the hardest part since nobody would tell you the real counters as they are so extremely effective and unfair, you will have to test out playing friendy games or study the records for every match. I found out in worst cases you can have up to 3 times more chance at the opponents goal if your formation absolutely counters the opponent's one, making 3 star deficit a 50% winnable scenerio. In most cases a two star deficit can be even out by a decent counter, while a 1-star deficit still turn in your favour. Facing opponents of the same quality is like winning 90% of the time. Popular formations all have their achilles heels but when you facing a rare one you may be in trouble...
If you have a higher quality team and your formation countering the opponent, it is likely that a domination (5+ goal difference) would occur.
I won last league with 5 players below all having higher quality lineup than I do. I had more chances at the opponent's goal compared to theirs in every match in the season (MyShots+EnemyTackle > MyTackle+EnemyShots, even in the games I have lost I outgunned the opponent by almost 2:1 but unlucky days happen). I'd simply admit that my default formation is overpowered but it could still be countered and there is no way for a sure win, that is just how the game works. It's called gamer's way which is always hated by the money warriors.
