And looks like in every league weaker teams has won all the last games last season (at least 6 teams that managed by friends of mine couldn't win a game). Probably all the "proper managers" don't watch their games and got weaker teams.
Sorry but yes, that 5* team is stronger than your 6~7* layman teams, due to proper player selection. His players are simply better and it's not about the stars.

I have done that before, winning league with a team of 4~5* while at least 4 managers in the league had 5~6* teams. We won because we managed better and optimally changed the tactics against different teams and they did not. You don't know which option is better against what team, but we did our research thus know how to change the orders to improve the chances way before a game has started.

When he consistently dominate using a low quality team, match a same quality team and there will be no game. Many people here had 26-0-0 run before, using full 5* team with a scout or two.
I can win around 80% of the games against same quality random team, without watching the game and have no manager supporting on my side.

We are just playing at a much higher skill level, novice with more stars alone have little chance against us.
But you can always buy your way to victory. A 3 star average difference is insurmountable unless the lower quality team got extremely lucky.

Using the optimal counter, I think the chance for me against a 2 star deficit is pretty much 50/50. If it is only 1 star, I could win more games than losing. I found out most often the reason I lost a game on 1 star deficit was because I carelessly employed the wrong orders.

How dedicated are you?
