Focus down their biggest ship and then don't let them hit Poe looks like your best bet, since he is your point fortress and you don't have massive amounts of damage. Those Y-Wings will be easy prey for bombers with good guns, so you'll have to watch them. Run Poe from the flank so they can't just gun him down, because they will want to do that, since the Y-Wings are cheaper and easier to kill.
Running a PS 2 Y-wing with tropedoes is very optimistic. Against a decent opponent you will probably never get a chance to fire it, so I think its a waste of points. Your R2 Astromech does not really make the Y-wing much beter, so thats in all 4 point to use for something else.
One suggestion could be to put M9-G8 on the Y-wing and Target Lock Poe to give him a reroll. I would save the last point for a two point initiative bid for Poe against other PS 9s (Dengar, Quickdraw, Fenn..).
Poe Dameron (PS9), Intensity, Comm Relay, R2D2, Black One, Auto Thrusters (45 pts)
Gold Squad Pilot, TLT, M9-G8 (27 pts)
Gold Squad Pilot, TLT, R3-A2, BTL-A4 (26 pts)
Total 98 points

I really like the idea of using M9-G8 on the Y-wing, sounds like a better plan than the torpedos
my suggestion with the Y wings use targeting astromechs, BTLa4, synced turrets its cheaper and you would get more bang for your buck at range one and two. also if you have to k turn you will still get your targetlocks. and if you really wanna get creative, throw the elite pilot trait astro on one of them and take deadeye. then you can focus for the turret instead of TL.
