Well you said you are playing defence, so i can give you my opinion about good defender attributes. Firstly, learning to jockey your attacker by harrying and hampering his progress without commiting your self to a tackle is an important skill. You need to do this to frustrate your attackers and hold up play. Having said this, if you decide to commit yourself make sure you get a piece of something. A good defender once told me 'i either let the ball get past me or the man, never both together'. Also, a good hard tackle early in the game works to benefit you. Players will be psycologically less willing to take you on.
