Star Blues recruit Zac Williams has been suspended for his bump on Saint Hunter Clark and will miss the opening round of the AFL season.

Slated for more midfield time in the navy blue despite having defender eligibility on both fantasy formats, the former Giant has been one of the most popular selections in AFL Fantasy ($626,000) and SuperCoach ($458,600) sides.

But now missing Round 1, fantasy coaches are left with very little choice but to say farewell and look elsewhere.

SuperCoach Price – $241,800

Clark has seemingly always been on the verge of a breakout season, as every pre-season he is spoken about as a must get for fantasy players and by the early parts of the season he is out again.

2020 looks like the year he may get some genuine game time and if his AAMI Community Series game is anything to go by, he has taken another step up. He is a great price downgrade from Williams and will likely rise in price, allowing for a good upgrade in another line.
