R3 sports settings tips vs R5

Hi all,
I have a loan R3 coming for the weekend to test and have a couple of sports events to practice.  Does anyone have any tips on anything that should be set differently to the R5 that I am using today.
I am only asking as I want to give it a fair trial!!
I found with the R5 that I needed to be on mechanical shutter or EFCS to stop weird leg or ball distortions (slight enough to look weird rather than clearly being wrong!) when covering soccer, so if anyone can tell me if that's something I should focus on that would be good.
I'm looking forward to using my eye to select focus points so I'll be trialling settings on that anyway.

Thanks in advance for the tips everyone!
