The teams you're facing are in three categories:

1. The best teams from last week's Stone level, the ones that were also promoted.
2. The teams that did well enough in last week's Iron level to stay there, but not well enough to be promoted.
3. Teams from last week's Bronze level that failed and were relegated to Iron level this week.

You're now faced with tougher competition, especially the third group, who were two levels above you last week. The first group is theoretically about as good as your team. The second group will vary from just holding on at Iron level (your team might already be better) to just missed being promoted to Bronze (your team is probably not as good).

Especially at the lower levels, there is a lot of fluctuation in team quality from week to week, and there are many improvements to be made. Every team in Iron will be adding new talent through card pulls and mission completion. The bad news is that your team will get progressively worse in relation to the competition if you don't also improve. The good news is that improvements are far easier to come by in Iron level.

Start by taking a look at the best teams in your league. They have probably finished a lot of or all BAL missions and are running 100 Mauer, McCovey, Morgan, Boggs, Ashburn, and Walker. They will have more than the Live Series toppers (like Fernandez and Dickey) on the mound. Many will have 100 Brown, Blue, and Papelbon, plus some other 100 pitchers to round it out.

Finish the BAL missions as a major step into the middle ranks of Perfect Team, and replace any and all Live cards on your roster with Historical cards. Live cards, with very few exceptions, aren't competitive in the middle to upper ranks. In general, keep looking for improvements, because most of your competition will be doing that. All movement is relative.
