I think it's not your formation that won you games but your 8 stars. Sure, if you play with a consistent tactic (4-5-1V for instance), you will present a stong opposition to any formation in this game. Better than with a 2-2-2-2-2 for instance. Forum advices on formations and tactics are obviously meant for teams of similar strengh. I think you can beat anyone with any formation if you have a 50% advantage in overall quality.
I wouldn't agree with that until two weeks ago.

I have a six-star team now (well, everybody does after the game's latest update), but in the past two weeks, I have not beaten a single human-controlled team at all, both in the League and the Association. In fact, against the other six human managers in the league this season, I only managed two draws against one manager and lost all of the other seven games. I was 8-2-2 against these same managers just three seasons ago (this is the seventh consecutive season that I'm stuck with these same managers).

In the Super League, I'm put in a bracket with just one other team at six-star level. Everyone else is one or two levels below, such that I was able to beat them, so those don't count.

So yeah, I have not been able to beat any teams that are five-stars or above since this season began.

Anyways, to answer the OP, just do whatever you can to learn the mechanics of the game. I would suggest against spending any resources on your team this season, but do try to win with what you currently have. Use the next 9 days to learn about the game, and start fresh next season.
