The matchmaking algorithm simply can't go through every single character in your roster and gauge whether or not it's a "fair" match. It would have to say "well, player B has Traya and player A doesn't, but player A does have Thrawn and Magma so let's check their speeds to see if player A has a shot at beating player B's Traya. Now moving on, let's look at possible JKR counters..."
It would be a massively unwieldy algorithm unless they just kept all those stats for every player in anticipation of each GA. The algorithm would have to be reworked every time a new character came out to account for new counters and things as well. Much better to just do it based on GP and let people optimize their rosters or not. Do you want players to only ever be matched up against players who have the same top 50 characters as themselves? Is the solution to these unfair matches to make it so every battle is 100% mirror matches that are won by speed mods? Sounds boring to me.
To answer your question, save CLS for offense since yours can probably beat his JKR and can definitely beat his Traya. Hope he doesn't put DR on defense, but since he has Malak he probably will. It's kind of up to what he puts on defense. If he doesn't put Malak AND JKR AND Traya down, you have a shot at winning due to banners. If he does, then you just got a bad coin flip and you may lose.
At 3.5 million gp you really should have Traya, why don't you? That alone will make a big difference. At your gp level, you will probably never run into someone who doesn't have her yet, so you need her to compete. This GA may be a loss for you, but if you focus hard on getting Traya and prepping for the next DR event (and get your JKR faster, man), you will find future matches easier.
