May 3, 2021 at 13:20 comment added YCor Great! Of course if you can achieve one fixed point you can achieve $n\ge 1$ fixed points (using that the space is homeomorphic to $n$ copies of itself). In this direction one could ask whether every closed subset is the fixed point set of a self-homeomorphism. In this direction and also involving periodicities one could then ask if for every family $(K_n)_{n\ge 1}$ of closed subsets, satisfying $K_m\subset K_n$ whenever $n$ divides $n$, there exists a self-homeo $f$ for which $\mathrm{Fix}(f^n)=K_n$ for every $n$ (unless I'm missing an obvious obstruction).
