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.

7. Callum Mills

AFL Fantasy Price – $705,000 
SuperCoach Price – $544,800

Another one set for for more midfield time despite being listed as a defender. Mills has shown he has the ability to score big when around the footy and he looks set for that opportunity, with the Swans needing experience at the coal face.

Mills is a long-term solution if you have decided Williams indiscretion is too much to look past. Only owned by 5% of SuperCoach players he would be a very valuable asset while last year he proved he is a AFL Fantasy scorer.
