Attributes for good press resistance?

[allyc31]

Been thinking about the last few days, assuming all other things are equal eg tactic has presents options to players, which attributes would be most important to ensure a player is press resistant 

Came up with the following 

1. Off the Ball. Allows the player to take up good positions on the pitch

2. Decisions. An intelligent player is a press resistant player. 

3. Agility. Allows the player to receive the ball easier. 
4. Strength. Allows the player to hold onto the ball better when they have it. 
 

what they do with the ball is obviously important too but I think those two things can be mutually exclusive. Was gonna throw in balance as well but didn’t want too many attributes. 
 

Anyone any other thoughts?

mine would be:

first touch, composure, balance

Forgot about first touch and composure. They’re a must I think

Anticipation? Acceleration?

Flip, yes on those two as well.

I'd say dribbling, composure and agility for midfielders like Modric, Verratti and De Jong that beat the press with feints and turns
