Across 16 appearances as a replacement, Ariceta's tackle numbers stand out as his defining contribution — averaging over six per game with a single-match peak of 14, he consistently impacts the defensive line in limited minutes. His carry workload is modest, suggesting his primary value lies in applying pressure rather than carrying the ball, though a best of 27 metres from six carries shows he can make ground when called upon.
