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.

Do you downgrade and build a bank to upgrade elsewhere? Do you look for a like-for-like, or do you have the cash to upgrade?
So many questions to answer, and in no particular order, we have 10 replacement options to consider.
3. Rory Laird
AFL Fantasy Price – $763,000
SuperCoach Price – $564,800
If you didn't already have Laird, he should just about be your main target. A great like-for-like replacement here, Williams' beauty is his listing as a defender when he will play as a genuine midfielder. Laird can slot into your defence and will be playing in the guts again in 2021.
Laird is a must-have for the 2021 season and if you don't already have him locked away now is your perfect opportunity to do-so.
