Use a localscript, as game.Players.LocalPlayer can only be accessed that way! Also, I recommend changing "Welcome" to "Welcome, "
You do not need to reference the local player because your not setting any properties in a local scripts like characters,tools etc to fix this do.
NOTE: Make sure it's server sided
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
print("A player has entered: " .. player.Name)
end)

The LocalScript can only understand who the LocalPlayer is as it knows which Client it's running on. The Server cannot contain a LocalPlayer either as it is isn't a Player, but a machine man
