What instructions should I use? Attacking, flanks, whole pitch short passing, hard tackling offside 3-5-2v?
You could start with normal instead of attack. I don't know anymore the preferences of the 3-5-2v against the ND. He is stronger so I would choose to start:

normal/defensive, mixed, mixed passing, hard tackling, pressing own half.
