What kind of sports do you shoot?
And what are you looking for? Do you need the reach of the lenses, do you need brighter lenses, faster frame rates, what kind of resolution are you interested in?
I shoot ice hockey and baseball for the most part. Most arena's lighting is horrible, and I have to primarily shoot with my f/4 Nikon glass. The range is actually perfect for hockey, the 70-200mm f/4 would be extra reach.
However for baseball, 200mm is not enough, and I would typically use the 300mm Nikon lens I have. Faster frame rates than the D750 is a must, not overly concerned about resolution. f/2.8 lens are out of my budget.
EF lenses work splendidly on my R6.. i see on ebay secand hand 70-200F2.8Lismkii go for <900GBP
a 400 F5.6L is £500...you will have to check what frame rate you get with these lenses as some EF lens won't give you full FPS
if you get a 1.4X extender as well for the price of a R 70-200f4L you will have 70-200F2.8 A 98-280f4, A 400f5.6 and a 560F8

There is no argument for FF vs APS-c (or m43) with shallow DOF..as it's a law of physics and a very subjective personal thing if you want to make use of the shallow DOF only FF can offer

If you wait for a camera that will tick all your boxes ....by then you will have more boxes to tick..... so the wait continues .....David Appleton
