I think the problem is that you're too hung up on having Rares and Super Rares. I've been using a Normal Kogure, Normal IJ Kazemaru, and a Normal IJ Gouenji since the start and I've won numerous battles with them. It's not who you use but how you use them, and there are numerous times where I've beaten people because, say, they used SRs because they had them rather than because they were a good fit.

So I suggest getting some normal Shot blockers in your defense for the time being. The formation doesn't really work for your team, either. You need one with at least 2 or 3 forwards, and if you're really apprehensive about Shot Blockers, get some Midfielders with Block Hissatsu. I personally use the base hissatsu and only have two midfielders on the field at a time, with my other two midfielders stopping the other team from getting to my GK layer, as well as moving up so that I can intercept, say, a saved shot or an unsuccessful dribble.
