Some big bad news, I think you are going to find the 70-200 far too short unless you can get up close and run up and down the sidelines.

Yes, I'm aware of that (and I can get close, right up to the line), I didn't want to go down f4.5-7 - otherwise I would have just stayed with the fuji apsc system. I'm keeping my eye out for a used 300 or 400mm f2.8  but they don't come up that often.

I'm not sure what your problem is on setting the dials other than it is a bit buried on the Customize (Orange) menu tab 3 (once again the Jan Wegener video may help).

The functions that can be assigned to the main dial are very limited. Not sure why they would limit them like that. It's going to take some getting used to, lots of muscle memory to overcome!
