Need advice with Houndstooth

Hi there, I'm relatively new at fleet arena and am running a f2p level 73/75 squad with home one, ghost, phantom, biggs, slave, JC, and wedge. I also have tie fighter available but a little less powered. So with this team is there a strategy that works against any team with Houndstooth? Or is there one particular ship that I should farm that would help me? I'm currently farming bistan on the side. Not sure how I'm in a Shard where everyone above me is 85 level with Houndstooth and I'm only level 79. Seems like I'm forever running uphill against opponents who are always gaining faster than me. But I guess that's the game. My ally code is 887-344-419. Thanks for the help!
