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.
5. Orazio Fantasia
AFL Fantasy Price – $353,000
SuperCoach Price – $271,800
Fantasia is very well priced off the back of some injury interrupted campaigns and is a good slot into defence considering he is a genuine small forward. Fantasia kicked 3 goals in a half in the AAMI Community Series and looked like the Orazio of old.
It seems likely he will go up in price before too long and he looks set to be in the Power side for round one. If you're not keen on rookies he is a very solid look.
