i use gimp as well but i use the eraser tool and the magic wand. If something has a multicoloured background then i tend to use the eraser until there is a little bit left around the outside and the get rid of it with the magic wand. Also if the background and shirt colour are too similar and the magic wand selects some of the face/shirt/hair then i use the eraser for the whold thing.
Hope that helps you also be patient, it might take a while but its better to have something that looks goodand takes 5 minutes more to do than a half hearted job.

EDIT: also don't start off trying to make a facepack, just do a few cutouts of players from teams that you support/ players you like/ easy pictures to cut out. then once you start to get better then try to make a facepack as you will be able to produce much better results...
as they say: practice makes perfect
