The Gun Bunch is one of the most popular and versatile formations in Madden Football. It is a three-receiver set with a tight end and a running back, and found in several playbooks.
The main advantage of Gun Bunch Wk is that it creates a lot of mismatches and confusion for the defense. The three receivers are bunched together on one side of the field, which makes it hard for the defense to cover them with zone or man coverage. The tight end and the running back can also create problems for the defense by running routes across the field or staying in to block.
