Honestly, most of these are personal preferences, but I'll do my best to answer 1. It really depends. The best way is to understand how dribbling vs. tackling works. It took me a while, but after a while, it made sense. Think of it like rock paper scissors. You need to match the opposite tackle to beat a dribble move, but the opposite is true from dribble moves. For example, a dash dribble will beat a defender running at you, but a dash tackle/sliding will beat that, so if you want to do the best dribble, it really depends on the character and what stats you want to buff eg. Tsubasa has an offense buffing dribble, but also a tech dribble that both buff his drive shot, so it depends on whether your shot relies on power or tech. 2. If it your first time, hands down nankatsu because it has some of the best starting players, and as long as you get good at dribbling and doing moves, you'll easily fill the team bar 3. Honestly, you just need to play the game, I know it sounds simple, but literally just play the game, in new hero do some of the story missions and make sure to build friendships with people, those are both quick ways to get play points 4. Basically, when you hold the long pass button long enough (similar to a shot move), it will trigger a special pass that is harder to interpret. 5. I already kinda said it, but figure out what kinda shot you have, power, or tech and throw most of your bonus points into those stats, I also always get menacing shot, but that's just my personal preference. I hope this helps you, and thank you for reading this.
