Soccer: Which AF area do you set?

I shoot mostly soccer from the sidelines with my Canon EOS R7 and the RF70-200mm f/2.8 lens. I use SERVO case 4 but struggling on which AF Area to set.

- Chat GPT recommends me: Whole Area AF

- Grok recommends me: 1-point or Expand AF area: Around

- Gemini recommends me: Flexible zone AF

I don’t know which AI to believe so what do you humans recommend I set?

Rest of my settings: Manual, 1/1250, f/2.8, Auto ISO, Elect. First courtain shutter, high speed continuous +, Evaluative meetering, etc

Hockey: What did I do wrong?

First time shooting a hockey game with my Canon EOS R7 with a 70-200mm f/2.8. All my pictures looked super grainy and if it wasn’t for Adobe Lightroom Denoise and Fluorescent WB option they would’ve all been garbage.

What did I do wrong? I used the following settings:

Manual mode

1/1250s

f/2.8

Auto ISO mostly because when I tried setting manually everything looked dark - the picture below was taken with ISO 6400

+2/3 EV

Anti-flicker ON

White Balance - switched between Cloudy, Auto, Tungsten to see what worked best - none did
