I'm relatively new to the fleet arena, only just reached Player Level 70.
A casual, slowly progressing player, at about 22000 squad power, my experience from the squad arena, is that, with some of exceptions (notably Phoenix squads or squads with Kylo Ren or Bobba Fett), I can usually count on at least being a match (even if not always winning) against a squad near my own squad power, even sometimes beat a squad maybe up to 500 above me.
In the fleet arena this is very different:
My fleet is alledgedly powered in the low 30K range, but quite often I will get all 4 ships (I still only have 1 reinforcement) wiped out barely making a scratch on ANY of the enemy ships - even when fighting nearly identical squads with only 1 ship different from mine, in the mid 20K range, and with ALL of their ships lower level than mine at same *tiers.
Now, I know you're gonna say synergy effects, but are they really THAT strong at his low level?
Or what am I missing?
Any hints or help appreciated

Have you got a gg link for your roster, I’ll have a look for you
Like someone said, if you can post a link to your profile with roster, people would be more than happy to give you pointers.
Here's my fleet: https://swgoh.gg/p/972967742/ships/
I normally fly with Endurance and the top 4 ships, usually with AT as reinforcement. I find her a reasonable finisher, but she's very soft, so if she's in the main team, she may only get to fire once.
I've tried substituting Endurance (at 61) with Home One (at 54), because I tend to get to get crushed by opponents with that ship, but that doesn't seem to help me at all.
Maybe It's just that most of the opponents at my level have optimized their pilots' mods much better than I have?
This way they could have great power that's not reflected in the ship power or fleet power, right?
You will probably need a tank. Biggs' X-wing is excellent for this (until you get access to HT or Sun Fac's ship / geo fleet). Boba's Slave 1 is an excellent taunting reinforcement in mid game.
The article is a little old and I cannot remember if this is before or after Ships 2.0 but the overall ideas are still accurate.
I disagree. If you have nothing better, then by all means, use Slave 1. But I would suggest to farm better reinforcements at the same time.
You seem to be a casual be player and your farm is completely disorganized.
If you want I'll put up an Excel spreadsheet (it will take a while to build it in English)
1) Find a guild
2) Close the phoenix 7 star team.
Depends on who he's being run with. Even as a reinforcement under Ackbar he can be quite annoying - taunt + retribution + bonus prot from attacking out of turn + TL....yeah.
Then there's the bomb move - twice in a row (again if you use Ackbar and strategic advantage). Can do some serious damage.
He's not popular in the current meta teams, and his taunt can indeed be a liability. But heck I feel that way about Biggs these days.
I since then switch to Home one and get better results in the Arena
Right now, you need to have OGMF/rebels...next is geos/HT chimera or HT/anakin/Mace
The guy in my shard who has his payout before me runs Hans Falcon, HT and Bistan starting with Biggs, Wedge, Cassian Ghost and Phantom as reinforcements under Home One. It's a really tough team to beat. Rebels with Rebels seems to be the way to go.
I would say, that 3 taunters is a bit excessive. Biggs and HT should usually do the trick. I would add a rebel or two - f.ex. Phantom as the first reinforcement to speed things up. Slave 1 dies too easily when fighting another AA / HMF fleet. I would prefer som more damage output and utility instead.

Important tip: when considering mods, the only things that affect crew power are the mod's number of dots and level. Color is irrelevant (unless you plan to slice to 6e), as are the actual stats on the mod and any set bonuses. So if you don't plan to use the pilot on the ground, you can level up 6 "bad" mods to 15 and throw them on there, and they'll have the same effect on the ship as an "optimal" mod set.
Yet, it's still a better choice than to necro all these discussions.
