Wellbeing, welfare

Hello
I wish to know the difference of these to sentences!
"He chooses the best resolution keeping in mind of himself and of the other players wellbeing"
"He chooses the best resolution keeping in mind of himsef and of the other players welfare"

Hi In the first sentences, well-being means keeping well, like mental and physical health. In the second sentence, welfare is like prospering. Well, that's how I interpreted the sentences, though the dictionary classifies them as synonyms, well-being a contented state of being happy and healthy and prosperous; "the town was finally on the upbeat after our recent troubles".
