English term or phrase: go-to guy

Game play is fast and simple. One player turns over a project card representing a certain number of points. Sample projects include "Provide Friendly Tech Support," "Reboot the Internet" and "Manually Virus Scan All Workstations." That player must lay down excuses that total more in points than the value of the project. Sample excuses include "can't find the 'Any' key," "unreasonable request" and "incompatible applications."
The other player may then lay down recognition cards that add points to the project, attempting to make the player with the project complete it. Recognition cards include "But ... the team needs you," "No problem, just come in over the weekend" and "You're my go-to guy!"

Я рассчитываю на тебя!

Explanation:
Или "Я рассчитываю только на тебя!", "Я рассчитываю именно на тебя!".

Не обязательно переводить это словосочетание отдельным русским словосочетанием. Буквализм, ИМХО, некстати.
