The 40-150 and E-M1 are a top-notcb soccer combo for sideline to mid-distance work. C-AF response is good to excellent, depending on light available, and works at 9fps. I handhold mine as part of a two-camera setup, both attached at the tripod socket. I wouldn't find a monopod helpful for sports, that's more for the guys with their big Canikon bazookas. Enjoy you new lens!

Cheers,

Nice images.

The E-M1 is on the list. I'm sure the E-M1 Mk II will be more than I want to spend. Next sale on reconditioned gear I'll be able to pick one up for around $575.
