It could be he was lower level but even now he is winning with minimal effort. My opponents are like close to 6 star while his are like 4 star max.

No point having such a good team, the stronger your team the stronger your opponents.
Since i started doing less, i started winning more. Your opponents are weaker and mostly inactive.
Or they log in once in awhile and never train their teams.

The transfer market is adequate because of the quality draw.
This is just my 2 cents worth but to each his own.
What level are you at?
I'm at 62 and I can guarantee you that if I start the season with a 3* team I'll draw a 6 or 7* team in the first round of the Cup and my CL group will be 5 or 6*
When the league draw comes around 8 or 9 of the teams will be high 5* getting close to 6* and I'd be left scrambling around at the bottom.
Manipulation doesn't work so much in the higher servers.
