Change in NWC: WC as % of sales, or Change in WC as % sales?

Thanks for taking a look at this - see below for quick summary. Very high level model. Have 2016/17 balance sheet, no balance sheet projections. Need to know what to use as driver going forward.

In driving Change in NWC impact going forward, do you:
A) Take WC as a % of sales each year, then use the delta of those two numbers for your FCF impact

-OR-

B) Take change in NWC from '16 to '17 as % of sales

Thanks in advance
