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.

8. Jack Lukosius

AFL Fantasy Price – $595,000 
SuperCoach Price – $430,800

This one is more steered towards SuperCoach players, as Lukosius' foot skills set him apart in the SuperCoach format, while he racks up plenty of the footy across half back.

Another one who takes advantage of the play-on from kick-ins which allows him to get in the game even on a poor day. His price may scare a few off but if you are trading Williams you will have the cash to spare.
