Replacement for Droid Team

Hi guys, I don't usually like asking for advice, but I'm in a bit of a pickle with my Arena squad. I'm running the cookie-cutter Po+Po+Droids team, all 7* max gear, and while it has served me well, I'm finding myself falling down the ranks further and further every night.

I have tried different combinations, but I still drop the same or further. I tried

Ventress (lead)
Daka
Dooku
Poe
IG-88

It does well in offense and having Dooku and Daka go on a stun rampage at the start is fun, but I figure having Ventress is like putting a big green light on my teams head to attract attackers.

What would be the most potent and intimidating team for my, considering the characters I have available?

My current stable of characters are:

Poe 7* Max Gear
Poggle 7* Max Gear
IG-88 7* Max Gear
IG-86 7* Max Gear
HK-47 7* Max Gear
Luminara 7* Max Gear
Sidious 7* Max Gear
Ventress 7* Max Gear
Dooku 7* Max Gear
Daka 7* Max Gear
Talia 7* Max Gear
Kylo 7* Max Gear
Ahsoka 7* Max Gear
Phasma 7* Gear 7

QGJ 6* Max Gear
Barriss 6* Max Gear
JC 6* Max Gear
Resistance Pilot 6* Gear 6
Royal Guard 5* Gear 7
FOTP 5* Gear 6
Vader 4* (4 shards to 5*)
Yoda 5* (should have at 7* after next event)

I want to try and formulate an interesting and formidable squad, without resorting to cheesy speed teams.

I really like IG-88, and a goal would be to employ him in a successful team. I really like his synergy with Sidious, but he is such an easy target to burn down.

Any advice?

    I'm still at the top with droids. You need to move last the cookie cutter poe-poggle-droids.
    You need 3 threats. IG88, IG86, Geo Soldier. Then pick 2 from Poggle, Poe and HK47. In my servers there is a version of each in the top of arena. Poggle lead with Poe, 47/Lead with Poe and 47 lead with Poggle

    I have been really resistant to farming Geo Soldier. I have him at 3*, and I have Barriss and JC taking up cantina energy priority. It's unfortunate that it seems he is a necessity for a competitive droid team.

    Could anybody else take his place? I could sub in RG for Poe and hope IG-88 doesn't get 1 shot. Or put in Daka for a chance of rez and another priority target for opponent to think about. Maybe QGJ but I think without him being leader he acts too slow to save IG-88.

    That's why I'm thinking about dissolving the droid team and going in a new direction. Without the speedy bug with the big gun, they just aren't as competitive.
